I'm a Mac indie developer working on Hog Bay Software since around 2003. I live in Bangor, Maine. Bike Outliner • TaskPaper • WriteRoom
I certainly hope so. The plan is to split time 50/50 on Bike macOS and Bike iOS after I release Bike 2.0. When will Bike 2.0 be released? I'm not sure, but you can download preview in my forums: support.hogbaysoftware.com/t/bike-2-0-p...
Bike 2.0 (Preview 253)
I love that sort of plain text layout, but the part that I was having to stretch my brain around was this style decoration positing logic: let bulletY = layout.firstLine.centerY line.y = bulletY line...

Eventually yes, but I'm deep in code of trying to get Bike 2 out and have little bandwidth for anything else. I'll try to fix up documentation/locationization a little closer to release.

Bike's current standard file format is HTML based. But I'm also in process of adding an alternative Markdown based format for Bike 2.0. I "think" the markdown format will have full parity with the HTML based on, so will be up to you to decide if you want easier for human or easier for machine.

I made FoldingText, but then sold. Working on Bike now. I'm actually "Just" working in a Markdown based file format for Bike. Bike will still be a rich text editor, but will have the option of storing text in Markdown. So circling back to FoldingText in a way.

And shoot, I uploaded the wrong binary. If you want to try the new Bike 2.0 preview markdown support use this link:
