Tinderbox goes AI

Looks like Eastgate is working on a new version of Tinderbox that uses the MCP framework to integrate Claude desktop to a Tinderbox document. Might be interesting and useful. Might be an attention...
No computer needed. A $5 box of 3x2.5 index cards -- use one a day to hold that day's must-do tasks -- will get most anyone through the better part of year.
New Reader Problem
8/5/2025
Oodles of unknowns behind the question.
What machine?
What platform? Windows? macOS/iOS/iPadOS? Other?

Print from what command? The one in Reader's "More Actions" menu? The brows...

'I Deleted My Second Brain'
7/15/2025
The trap is thinking of software as a "second brain". There are no second chances. Best to use the one in the skull.
I am in my sixth year of generating Daily Notes in Obsidian. I create the note via the "Open today's daily note" ribbon button, and then populate the note with a Typinator macro expansion ("obs.dail...

danschimpf.com states release 7.3.1 is "Compatible with macOS Ventura Built Universal for Macs with M1 and M2".

It's a PDF.
New logical outlining tools

GPT4o claims to know how to apply the Toulmin hexagon framework, and can produce results similar to the Miller-Altshule template for Tana. Not surprising, since the Tana template uses ChatGPT (and, o...

Craft at first blush looks like a sort of Pinterest wanna-be, but under the surface are some interesting features.
Collaboration Frustration

If you or one of your collaborators has a Craft license (or a Setapp subscription, from which Craft can be installed), then it is pretty simple to create and share a document that anyone can edit whet...

I'm sympathetic to Stephen Zeoli's thoughts about "workflow". To me, it smacks of Taylorism, which is not a good model for intellectual pursuits. I don't think the term is going way in so-called "...
I've walked up to Scrintal's front door many times, then walk away because I don't want to provide credit information and pay to check out the app.
MindNode Classic, and now MindNode Next
12/4/2024
