I did! And I'm still using it to test Bike 2.0. Will will be release about 2 years ago. :\ Well soon anyway!

I dislike Liquid Glass. At the same time I make Mac apps and I've got to adopt liquid glass to keep my apps looking alive/updated. How to do this without making my apps UI worse? I…

I've been self employed at Hog Bay Software [1] since 2004. I mostly build Mac apps. A few years I did some consulting. A few other years I worked with some other people, but gener…

Seems like the perfect way to make sure that all birds are shot in a war zone?

One thing to decide maybe before specific books is if you want to do SwiftUI programming or more traditional Cocoa programming. They both have advantages, and they can be mixed, bu…

No it doesn't.

Go Maine! Where are you based? Got any app links? And excuse me if I should already know your handle, I have a terrible memory.

Eventually yes, but not anytime soon. Right now Bike is very much a text editor, while notational velocity is more database of text files. At some point I hope to add a "workspace"…

Heh, I'm actually finding MS Word a good source for autocorrect ideas.

I find AppleScript very useful for this. I script the text input, menu items, and timings like this: menuItem("Format:Bold", 0.2) type("Efficient") press("⏎")

Unlikely in the near term. I feel like there are many other features that I need to do first. Longer term maybe?

Nice work on Sciter. When I came up with this feature in Bike I was pretty proud of the idea and it seemed original. Then a few weeks later I came across your post on StackExchange…

I agree code editor autocomplete is a good design for searching through space of options efficiently. I'm not sure if that design works for "autocorrect" in general writing instead…

Eventually I hope to add theme support so that links can look how you want, but that's not a feature that I'll be working on super soon. The affinity is just treated as a new chara…

> I have it disabled on MacOS, so no idea how it works there Well that's really at the core of my question. Why do you have it disabled? What need to be improved so that you don't …

For links or for just general formatting? For links I just decided to leave out. Seemed blue was enough, and especially since link interaction in Bike only happens through link but…

I agree it's not perfect. In particular it's a little weird to highlight the link text blue since it's not what you interact with. Mostly just makes it easy to see and then find th…

> But there isn’t a way to edit the hyperlink itself quickly? Correct. For that you need to use Formatting pallet (also in video). I did initially build it so clicking link would o…

Your outline project looks great. Hard to beat an app that you make yourself and can change when you see fit. Bike does have a keyboard shortcut for expand/collapse, but truth is I…

Yes... kinda... I've been doing indie Mac software since around 2003. Mostly full time with some consulting mixed in. I've had varying levels of success. Generally business grew in…

Thanks, I didn't know about Control-Space on MS Word. Looking in menu's I see "Clear Formatting" menu item, but the shortcut isn't listed. How did you know about this shortcut?

Thanks. I agree the way that programmer text editor handles snippets is nice. I think this is a pretty good and clear UI already. For autocorrect I'm talking about corrections that…
