Reveal.js is great.<p>Up until recently, I was putting slides together using Google Docs (ugh!), and thought there had to be a different way so I started looking around. Reveal.js looked the best to me, but I wanted two things:<p>1) It running on a server reading new slideshows automatically, and<p>2) To write the slides in pure markdown (like how some others use `---` for slide separation).<p>I ended up hacking together a quick Erlang-based slideshow server called Sliderl[1] that lists all slideshows (showing a quick preview of the first slide), and has a simple text-search. And of course, all the slideshows are rendered with Reveal.js.<p>1) Make sure Erlang is installed<p>2) clone the repo<p>3) put your slideshows in its "slideshow/" directory (slideshows must end with .markdown)<p>4) make<p>5) make run<p>6) Open browser to <a href="http://127.0.0.1:8000" rel="nofollow">http://127.0.0.1:8000</a><p>I suppose it's simple if you have Erlang installed already, but if you don't have Erlang installed, you probably don't want to install it just to show some slides.
