Tinderbox Meetup March 26, 2023 Video: Project Management and Anki Cards

* Gather information for learning
* Create reusable assets
* Documenting systems
* Exporting content to a specific format, e.g., Anki Flashcards

We reviewed and discussed the member’s provided Word file (see attached). We talked about project management vs. knowledge collection management at some length (inc., premature formalization, highlighting, attribute, abstraction, etc.). This discussion included a deep dive into the nature of naming things and using the Tinderbox system and user-generated details. We then dove out of the knowledge and project management philosophical clouds into a specific tactical project, i.e., methods for creating Anki Cloze flashcards and the template to export them so that the Anki desktop app can ingest them. We also demonstrated using Stamps, create(), and the parsing of highlight text (i.e., the .highlights operator) with action code.

NOTE: We did not finish exporting the file from TBX to a text file. We’ll review this next week. You’ll want to set $HTMLMarkupText to remove the BR tag
or \n with spaces and select “Export selected note.” Chang the .html extension of the preferred not to .txt. I suspect that there may be a couple more tweaks that will need to be made to import these notes into Anki successfully. We can review these steps in future sessions.
