Regarding the website: having a video embedded with zero control to mute or change it's audio volume is really insensitive UX. The annoying background music is not even necessary to actually get meaning from the video.

Sorry about that. I'm a one guy does many things. Maybe I missed on video sound, but it's tricky trying to make a text editor look interesting. I thought the music helped.

I would've vastly preferred you narrating over the video instead of generic sounding Kickstarter music, I immediately muted it.

I hated the music and closed my browser the second I couldn't find a mute button.

Sorry, I might have misunderstood you, but can’t you just mute the audio of your device altogether? Or do you want to continue to listen to music in the background or something?

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.

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.

Awesome!

Workflowy and Logseq already provide these features. Am I missing something?

I honestly don't understand comments like this, you know it's ok to competition in this space?

Counterpoint, I very much enjoy when commenters surface competitors, because it makes the creator summarize exactly what distinguishes their product.

I have been in the market for an outliner that outputs to open formats so I am absolutely your audience. (My current top contender is OutlineEdit, and I was days away taking the plunge so thank you!) Two things I would love to see in any outliner: 1) Support Harvard and other outline format. I grew up outlining in Harvard and this bullet list stuff is maddening. The developer told me that OutlineEdit will not support…

I would love a good replacement for Tree. I've never found another app that does what it does.
