> Text editing should work as you expect. This is a nice feature of Bike. Often outliner apps constrain text editing in various ways. Bike doesn't do that. So, how do you add a "soft linebreak" - so that I get a line break in a single node (so that I can have e.g. 3 paragraphs on a node). The things I've tried (enter, shift-enter, etc) all create a new node below - and the manual doesn't give any clue.

Sorry, just not supported right now.

Thanks.

If possible, making an item as markable (as in done) would also be nice (perhaps that touches on TaskPaper and co.

I'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.

You mean like Org-mode?

Cool! I would like to be able to use j and k to navigate up and down when in item selection mode, a la vim (to avoid moving hand to arrow keys).

I plan to do more with single key shortcuts in outline mode, just haven't had time to really think it through. Want to make sure I have a plan before I just start adding them.

Solid app! Please consider adding the behavior of VSCode where pressing Cmd+X cuts the line... that would immensely improve the workflow!

Maybe, though I will probably just stick to macOS standard keys for now. And maybe that is ... I don't know. Anyway generally when I want to cut line I will exit into outline mode and cut.

I can't believe this guy is writing software that runs on my computer and selling it for money. Feels like the good old days.

Keep those good old days going. Get a license :)

I'm thinking about it! I downloaded and played with it and I'm going to try to use it over the next couple of weeks.

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…

Regarding horizontal outlining and Tree replacement, it’s not native to macOS, but there’s a web app called Ginkgo.

It sounds like you might prefer TaskPaper (same dev different app)
