Sounds like DITA.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Yes, that is DITA. It might be a buzzword that helps evoke what you're looking for. In DITA, information is broken down into standalone chunks and put into a content management system, and then a map is created to pull those chunks and assemble them into your end result.

In the database I use (Slate) they are called snippets.

OMG, why is our database so janky? That looks amazing.

Sounds like a tool that be an excellent candidate for basing on MongoDB. A bit of Java Spring to manage a REST interface used by a Vue js frontend. Generating the result in Word format would be a PITA though. Maybe there's a library that does the heavy lifting though. At least it would be docx, doc is a nightmare. I mean, it made sense in the day, but OMG it was a mess. There's a reason that formatting could go all wonky in old versions of Word.

I mean seriously. When you get SPRMs scattered all over the place in non-linear order, trying to translate doc files into other files was hard AF.

It doesn't really have to come out as a Word doc, just something that looks nice.

In the past month,
• My fancy photo printer died. There are no authorized Epson service centers in NYC. I would have to ship the printer somewhere to get it fixed. Even if it were cheaper than buying a new printer, it wouldn't be worth the effort.
• I dropped a camera. I'm still waiting to hear back from the repair guy to hear if it's totaled.
• Today, the Thunderbolt Display for my Mac mini died. At least I think it's the display. It might be a bad port on the mini. I've been waiting for months for apple to refresh their iMacs so that I could buy one. So what do I do now? Do I buy a current iMac that will probably be obsolete in a matter of weeks? Do I buy a cheap monitor to keep my current mini alive for a while?
• once I replace all this stuff, I'll have a bunch of bulky electronics that I can't throw away that I'll somehow have to bring to recycling, even though I don't have a car.
Fuck this shit.

Oh that's annoying as all get out, Tom! The Mac things you can bring to an apple store, though, for recycling. Doesn't help the timing issue.
I think half 5he reason I would want an organizer to help me is not even so they would organize, but so that they would figure out where to take the shredding and the electronics and they would take the clothes for donation and so on.
