There’s a short intro movie here:

Warning: the background “music” is so annoying that the movie is bearable only with volume muted.

I have to admit my reaction was, I wonder how long until Jesse abandons Bike.
As I recall he was supposed to be working on a new editor for Folding Text (or was it one of his other projects). My guess is that he got as far as this outliner functionality and gave up making it work for the existing app. But whatever happened, I don’t see betting my money on his ability to stick it out. Which is too bad, because he is a very creative developer.

Anyone who wants a Mac-based single-pane outliner should look at OutlineEdit:

I think you left WriteRoom off this list. It is still for sale through the Mac App Store, but hasn’t been updated in 9 years.

Hi, I own it too ; I did not leave it out, considering it is still (very moderately) active, but you’e right, 9 years is a long time…
