This looks like it's going in the same direction as Deckset (<a href="https://www.deckset.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.deckset.com/</a>) and reveal-md (<a href="https://github.com/webpro/reveal-md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/webpro/reveal-md</a>) – neat. I love the former (just works really well for me) and would really want to like the latter (open source! no license needed, collaboration-friendly, customizable), but it makes me fight my tools just a bit to much. Part of which is intentional, of course – the point of these tools (for me) is to not get sucked into a handcrafted slides rabbit hole, because they resist me very strongly if I try, but things like autoscaling lots of text on a single slide just have to work (couldn't find a decent-looking way to do this in reveal-md without magic – works nicely in Deckset).<p>Yours looks like it could fill that gap (featureful yet easy to use), though (on first glance, I'll admit) it still appears to be kinda limited. I can't figure out how to exit presentation mode, I'd prefer to have somewhat more explicit slide boundaries (e.g. using the Markdown "---" separator), so I can have multi-line slides with paragraphs, plus I could throw my Deckset markdown slides at it and have them work with relatively minor changes. I think the mix of Markdown and HTML in the examples are a bit confusing, maybe it would be better to stick to just Markdown?<p>I couldn't figure out how to have an image and text side-by-side (I like to do this in Deckset to have e.g. a vertical process diagram on the left and the most important remarks/caveats on the right). Other things I personally am missing are multi-line code snippets, text on top of an image background (ideally desaturating/blurring the image for readability, Deckset does that well), and speaker tools.<p>What's there is really lovely, though. I love how super snappy it is, the themes look pretty good, very nice and minimal. It's mostly very straightforward to use and already has a bit of polish, which is neat at what looks like a pretty early stage. I think this looks really good and promising!
My favorite plain text presentation tool is `sent` [1]. It is even more minimal but works surprisingly well (at least for me). Javascript-free but only for X11.<p>[1] <a href="https://tools.suckless.org/sent/" rel="nofollow">https://tools.suckless.org/sent/</a>
This is really neat – it basically can't be made any simpler, yet encourages best practices!<p>A while ago, while on the lookout for a somewhat more fully-featured web-based presentation tool than this, I ended up building something similar-ish on top of the Markdown renderer Markdeep:<p><a href="https://github.com/doersino/markdeep-slides" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/doersino/markdeep-slides</a>
So great and love to detail (just the subtle smooth flashing when you finished the presentation), great color scheme and the best: just the essentials and no nonsense features.
many many years ago I used to use Rabbit[0] for presentations.
It used to take a different approach, rendering whole images instead of HTML, but was quite fun to use.<p>[0] <a href="https://rabbit-shocker.org/" rel="nofollow">https://rabbit-shocker.org/</a>
