Surprised nobody has mentioned org-mode yet. It does everything shown in the video: collapse/expand nodes, focus on subtrees, ability to highlight across rows/nodes, etc.

That said, the fluid animations in Bike look great, and the video was very slick! Nice work.

I've been through more than a dozen "outliners", "todo apps", and "document databases", and i always end up with a mix of org-mode and Markdown. It may be my requirements, but i'd rather have my data available on "whatever" platform i'm working on, than having a specialized tool on one platform.

My job frequently has me switching between different desktop operating systems and mobile, so for me a simple clear text approach works the best, and org-mode and Markdown has that nailed down.

So for now my tools are limited to Sublime Text on the desktop (with the OrgExtended plugin), Obsidian for my markdown notes (though sublime/vs code would work just as well), and BeOrg/PlainOrg on the iOS side of things, with simple file synchronization to keep files synchronized across platforms.

Ironically, TaskPaper was the tool that got me started on the cleartext approach (also written by the author of Bike).

Well, you just did.

OrgMode relies on emacs, which is not exactly in the same class of software that this is. This is "one thing well" stuff. Emacs and OrgMode are pretty much the other side of the continuum.

I’ve been having good success with _basic_ outlining functionality of Org Mode in VS Code using the “VS Code Org Mode” extension. No need for emacs for this use case. The built-in VS Code folding works really well and then combining with GitLab which has rendering support for Org Mode when committing/pushing commits. Plus, since everything I’m doing is already in Org Mode syntax, I can move to other editors later if desired. It’s a good solution for my needs, at least.

There's a fairly complete, and rather functional plugin for Sublime Text : https://github.com/ihdavids/orgextended
