Bike is a new outlining app by Hog Bay Software , the developer of TaskPaper which I use every day.
Bike works “out of the box” with Hook’s default integration script, which uses hook:///file/ URLs. That gives you links to the entire document.
Bike has deep links to rows. We intend to give Bike users an option to use bike:// URLs. You’ll just need to do this from the command line:
defaults write com.cogsciapps.hook integration.bike.URL.scheme bike-default
and you will be able to revert to hook://file/ URLs by doing:
defaults write com.cogsciapps.hook integration.bike.URL.scheme hook-file.
(or some such incantation).
Or Hook Pro users can edit the integration script (which will have both options). We’ve done this kind of thing with some file-based apps like Obsidian and nvUltra.
If you want links to rows before we get that done, then just copy links directly from Bike and hook them to anything.
hook://file/ URLs have an advantage that you can move or rename the file and the links will still work even if the file is not currently open. Same principle as with OmniOutliner. We may very well provide the ability to automatically add the native app URL (bike://, OmniOutliner, Scrivener, etc.) info to the hook://file/ URL so you can get the best of worlds.
