Tinderbox Meetup Video - Saturday, June 10, 2023: A Discussion with Jerry Michalski on The Brain and Tinderbox

Thanks. A reflection I took away from the session was when @j3rry noted that he optimizes for efficiency/for spread in The Brain. I very much appreciate that point and I’d love to find a way to do something similar with Tinderbox.

I’m not sure how to articulate this exactly, but I’d love to have a flattened link view (i.e., a flat hyperbolic) that would enable me to create notes and link associates with ease without the constraints the containers. I"m going to need to do some experimentation on this, try to see what I can make work. I suspect I’m going to need some perspective shifts in my mind.

I tried playing with The Brain yesterday. Again, I really like the ease with witch you can create/collect notes an structure them, but I found the unfamiliarity of the UI challenging and, in the end, can’t get my head around having to curate my interaction in two places, e.g., The Brand vs. Tinderbox. Tinderbox offers me so much flexibility I’m struggling with how I’d long-term effectively use The Brain. I’m not sure I can, given that output is so important to me and getting stuff out of the Brain is so challenging.
