Really liking Bike so far — I’m imagining it as a kind of stripped-down Scrivener, allowing you to write chapters in foldable, re-arrangable chunks.
My only issue (other than having the ability to choose my own font) is that the typing action seems too slippery, too smooth. Every writing app I’ve ever used (including within this very text box) renders letters onscreen one at a time —pop pop pop—matching the rhythm of the keys being clicked. Bike seems to slither the words in. I can’t tell what’s really going on here — is it a micro-fractional delay in rendering each letter? Maybe.
The only thing I can equate it to is the Soap Opera Effect on modern TVs — there’s something too smooth going on here, and it basically breaks the illusion that the keys are “clicking the letters into place”, typewriter style.
Hope this makes sense. Bike really is beautiful, and I include the icon in that praise.
