This is an impressively well stripped down app. It's all I ever wanted from OmniOutliner (remember when it shipped with OS X?).

Unfortunately, I've been drawn in by the linking functionality in Roam/Logseq and cannot go back to a simple outliner, though this makes me want to.

I don't think I'm a fan of the animated cursor while typing. It somehow makes the typing feel slower, like it takes some physical effort for the cursor to push forward.

Yes, I am in the same boat. I started using Logseq when I switched to linux as my primary workstation and could no longer use OmniOutliner.

I used to focus a lot on structuring and organizing things properly before. But after I started using linking, tags, ref embeds etc. more I found that I was more productive by just quickly dumping specific things into poorly organized isolated notes, and adding headers, cross-linking/organizing/merging them much later if they survive.

I later learnt (to my surprise) that people had written whole books about similar methodologies (zettelkasten etc.) but yet to sit down and explore any of them.

It can feel that way for some people. Seems different per user, there's a preference to change the speed in settings.

Also yet need to remember that you don't need to wait for it, sometimes you might just get mesmerized by it and then it feels slow, but if you just type it will keep up with you. It's only ever the "last" animation that fully completes if you are typing fast.

I'll have to try it again, I didn't realize there was a setting for it. I uninstalled it because the typing felt really slow and awkward.

My two cents, default disable so it feels faster, it sounded like speed and smoothness was one of the many selling points.

Another plug for linking... I loved Taskpaper and would be very interested in adopting Bike, but I need those sweet links/backlinks
