Tinderbox 1.0.1

Tinderbox 1.0.1 is out. It's a free upgrade that fixes a variety of small problems and inconveniences.

Doug Miller writes that "Tinderbox has become completely indispensable to me."

Not only are nearly the entire contents of my brain stored in Tinderbox now, but I'm using it for all my blogging. I use it as a news aggregator to find interesting things to read and blog, and I write all my blog entries with it, too. A quick text export, and I import the entry into MySQL via a web form and the post is done."

Notice how Miller uses lots of tools, all working together. Information comes from Web sites all over the place. Tinderbox reads and arranges their syndicated headlines, helping to filter the information Miller most wants to see. Other parts of Tinderbox help pull the information together; once written, stories are integrated into his existing database-backed workflow.
