I wish someone re-created Varatek B-liner ... https://www.mind-mapping.org/index.php?title=B-liner_2002
It's not exactly the same, but a similar left-to-right tree outliner, specifically optimized for writing, is https://gingkoapp.com

#162Great job with this. Going to try it out now. Slightly off-topic: What is the name of the song in the video? I want to play it on loop as I work
Couldn't remember. Just found it: https://audiojungle.net/item/the-snaps-claps-stomps-pack/363...

#163Earlier quoted context omitted.
Strong disagree to both of these points. Nothing "insensitive", save your comment. Devices have audio controls, no need to repeat them in a video player-especially not one on a landing page for a product. Background music for promotional material is standard, and all too necessary.
> Devices have audio controls, no need to repeat them in a video player You assume that the web page is the only source of audio happening on a device. If someone is listening to something on their machine while browsing articles and then needs to stop whatever is playing because the website is taking over the audio, that's very poor UX and is indeed insensitive to the user. Suppose you have a screen reader and now y…
Making me think that maybe you should be insensitive to certain users

#165Lovely but unfortunately Mac only.

#166BIKE also stands for Bit-flipping Key Encapsulation https://bikesuite.org
It's also a two-wheeled vehicle powered by legs

#167This is great. It feels very fast, focused, native, and lightweight like all of HogBay's offerings. Is there any way to change the font? As a developer, non-monospace fonts feel foreign for composing text.
Thanks, sorry not yet font option. I expect to add TaskPaper like stylesheets in the medium future, then there will be many style options.
A simple font selector would be nice. I have some seriously impaired vision w/o correction and monospaced fonts really help when I have to look at a screen that way.
That and ability to zoom in/out or increase/decrease font size.
Re: Show HN: Bike – macOS Native Outliner
#168This is an impressively well stripped down app. It's all I ever wanted from OmniOutliner (remember when it shipped with OS X?). Unfortunately, I've been drawn in by the linking functionality in Roam/Logseq and cannot go back to a simple outliner, though this makes me want to. I don't think I'm a fan of the animated cursor while typing. It somehow makes the typing feel slower, like it takes some physical effort for th…
Yes, I am in the same boat. I started using Logseq when I switched to linux as my primary workstation and could no longer use OmniOutliner.
I used to focus a lot on structuring and organizing things properly before. But after I started using linking, tags, ref embeds etc. more I found that I was more productive by just quickly dumping specific things into poorly organized isolated notes, and adding headers, cross-linking/organizing/merging them much later if they survive.
I later learnt (to my surprise) that people had written whole books about similar methodologies (zettelkasten etc.) but yet to sit down and explore any of them.

Note that Bike does support changing font size already.
I'm getting a lot of request for also adding changing the underlying font. Will likely add that sooner then later now since lots of people seem to need.

#170I've been using workflowy.com - looks VERY similar.
Workflowy is a truly category-defining solution that inspired an entire generation of similar products.
I wanted a (preferably open-source) alternative which I could use with self-managed storage/sync without sharing any data and found Logseq to be pretty good.
