You can easily set up agents that will search for these Workflowy tags (just hashtags followed by the tag name as in #WorkflowyTag) and apply them to the Tag attribute of the notes in Tinderbox. Tinderbox now supports tags with a Tag attribute, but unfortunately Workflowy tags do not translate to Tinderbox tags. You can eliminate this by copying the parent container note, pasting this where you want it in your Tinderbox document, and then deleting the original OPML container note. The one somewhat cumbersome aspect of this procedure is the redundant OPML container note, which you probably don’t need. Outline view of the notes Workflowy notes imported into Tinderbox. I can build an outline, add notes to the individual entries, and then import them right into a Tinderbox document. Being cloud-based and with an iOS app (not sure if there is an Android app, but probably), Workflowy is available to me most times when Tinderbox is not. And I believe I’ve found my solution in Workflowy. Tinderbox would be a perfect helper for this project, so I am back to needing a way to bring in work that I do on other devices. Recently, I’ve started collecting research and notes for a book I want to write. So, for instance, a note titled “Note A,” might have note text that says, “This is an example of note text in Note A,” The content of those notes I am calling note text. In this article, I will refer to any single item, whether in Workflowy or Tinderbox, as a note. Consequently, I end up dumping stuff into Evernote, which is terrific for keeping data sync’d across devices, but which does almost nothing for me in terms of analysis and visualization.Ī note on nomenclature: It can become confusing writing about two different applications that may use different nomenclature. I spend eight hours a day on my office Windows PC, and am frequently on the go with just my iPad with which to collect and write notes. But I do not use Tinderbox as much as I would like for the simple reason that I can only run it on my MacBooks. The mind-bogglingly versatile and powerful “ tool for notes” is unsurpassed for helping me make sense of complex data (complex to me, child’s play to others perhaps). If you’re reading this blog post, you undoubtedly know that Tinderbox is one of my favorite pieces of software.
