Dave wrote about his Captain's Log, into which he logs information "too trivial to remember, but too important to forget." It's a Tinderbox document.
A later post from Jacob Evans described his own "LifeBox" kept in Tinderbox.
These two posts resonated with me, as I've used Tinderbox for the same thing since 2008. See my post, Tinderbox as a Daybook, from that year.
Last year I revamped the Daybook and went all in.
I now call it my "LifeBook" and it's awesome.
Unfortunately, I have been inconsistent in its use. I blame Emacs, and more recently, Linux. Tinderbox is macOS only, so my foray into using Linux has made me second guess using any tools that are Mac only. Even great ones like Tinderbox. Maybe it's time for a third guess.
Last week I started logging there again because I missed it. The posts from Dave and Jacob have inspired me to continue.
One thing that has always held me back is difficulty with managing files (images and PDFs) related to my notes. Tinderbox doesn't excel at file management, so I took what I learned from using org mode and tried Forging org-attach features into Tinderbox. It's a messy work in process, but it works. I'm only using it for PDFs, now, because Tinderbox's performance has improved and WebP images are quite small. It should be fine embedding those. If only tinderbox better handled paths relative to the current document, I wouldn't need all this. Oooh, or even if .tbx files could become bundles that automatically managed attachments. Maybe one day.
If I were to decide to stop using Tinderbox and use, say Org Mode instead, it's not a problem because Tinderbox's export features can get me anything I want out of it.
