I’ve gone through most of the notable note taking apps. About a decade ago, I tried to use Tinderbox[0] but it didn’t stick. I attribute that mostly to assuming it would provide some structure.
Recently, after giving up on Obsidian, I went back to Tinderbox. This time I read the creator’s book (The Tinderbox Way) and it clicked. The programmability with agents, note prototypes, and so on really works well with what I’m doing. Linking is simple, much like roam or Obsidian.
It’s pricy and it has a bit of a steep learning curve but if you push through, it’s really powerful.
