Bike: macOS 26

Bike Outliner (1.x) runs well on macOS 26 (Tahoe).

Bike Outliner 2.0 (Preview) also runs well on macOS 26, but I need to adopt the new Liquid Glass UI, and I haven’t decided how I will do that.

I’m looking for ideas.

Here’s what Bike 2 looks like today:

Note: I almost never run Bike with all UI showing like this!

Here’s what Apple’s Notes looks like on macOS 26:

For my taste, this standard macOS 26 Liquid Glass treatment muddies the boundary between UI and content way too much.

Here’s how ChatGPT imagines Bike 2 on macOS 26:

I kinda like it.

Or at least I like idea of drawing boundary around content, and leaving the exterior UI flat against the window. The content is clearly separate from the sidebar and inspector. It’s not really Liquid Glass, but I think it could fit in.

I’m still brainstorming and looking for ideas.

Let me know what you think!
