In this Tinderbox meetup, we reviewed a ton.
TBX 9.61 Release Readwise Integration
@eastgate reviewed the new Readwise integration
Roam Highlighter (also good for Obsisian and Tinderbox)
@satikusala discovered a browser extension Roam-highlighet that works with Obsidian and have made it work with Tinderbox. You can use this to highlight text in browsers, apps on your computer, and Kindle.
Download the Roam Highlighter extension for Chrome.
Once you highlight the text, you can use the following to import the copied text into a TBX.
@satikusala, working with @mwra, refined a macOS Service to copy the text from the clipboard to an Inbox in the active TBX file.
Hint: go to Keyboard>Keyboard Shortcuts>Services>Text> to set up a hotkey for the service.
Marketed Streaming and apps
We engaged a detailed review of streaming content from TBX to Marked 2.
Annotating Text from PDFs
The session included a rough review on how to parse annotations/highlights and notes from a PDF. The solutions worked on in the call are not definitive (meaning they don’t fully work yet). The discussion with the group was very effective.
