Thanks for the article and for sharing here.

Dumb question: I’m not using Task Paper currently, and am still a newbie (though an enthusiastic one) with Bike, but can Bike do everything Task Paper does? If not, any thought of integrating Task Paper mode into Bike?

Andy

Short answer is no, but working in that direction.

In my mind the three big TaskPaper features missing from Bike right now are:

  • Filtering outline
  • StyleSheets
  • Tags/Attributes

I expect Bike 2.0 (in progress with some demo releases so far, but still while before done) to support filtering and stylesheets. Not sure if a UI for tagging will make it into 2.0, but will get there eventually.

More info on why Bike vrs TaskPaper:

Several days ago ,I was wandering online and found your blog. It was the recommendation of your article that I decided to try TaskPaper. I love it😍I’ve tried many task managers, but soon I was bored with them. Only TaskPaper has brought me back to the fun I had as a kid striking through and clearing completed items on paper.
Oh, Thanks to Jesse for developing and maintaining TaskPaper.

I use Taskmator. Not sure that it is available in the store anymore. I bought it years ago.
