I've been playing a bit with the Mac / iOS app Craft: https://www.craft.do/
One thing I find interesting/frustrating is that while it isn't a bad outliner, zooming in on a block doesn’t zoom in on that part of the outline. Rather, it turns that block into a new document. So, if I have
- Fruit
- Apples
- Granny Smith
- Fuji
- Oranges
- Lemons
- Vegetables
- Spinach
- Kale
And I want to zoom in on "Apples" I won't see Granny Smith or Fuji. Rather I will see a new document called "Apples" that I can edit.
I can see some great use cases for Craft and I might include it in my workflow, but for this reason i don't think I will ever use it as an outliner. I'm just too used to how Workflowy/Dynalist/Roam Research handle zooming and depend on this for my daily workflow.

This is reminiscent of Brainstorm on Windows. Hoisting the item so you just the item and its children.
