Hi HN! Cool to see this posted here.
I made this in college because I would always make slides last minute before class presentations or talks at my school's CS club, and fiddling with google slides/powerpoint seemed like overkill. I hope you find it useful as I have over the years.
I've attempted to rewrite it 5 or 6 times based on whatever cool technology I was distracted with, but never merged anything upstream (Spectacle https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle is already a wonderful React solution).
A couple other folks maintain cleaver now (they're great), but lemme know if you have any questions!
- H4CK3RM4N 10y agoI have to ask what this offers over a LaTeX/Beamer setup. I'm fairly happy using LaTeX for anything I'm sharing, but I'm curious about alternatives.
- kurige 10y agoSure, when throwing some slides together last minute the first thing that comes to mind is "LaTeX".
- sporkenfang 10y agoMaybe you might want to spend some time with LaTeX then. Honestly, it's one of the most useful things I learned in school.
- ralmeida 10y agoI second that, it's extremely powerful, but not the tool I would reach for a quick last-minute presentation, as well.
- asafira 10y agoI'm with ralmeida here; do you actually make super fast slides with LaTeX? That has definitely not been my experience.
- sporkenfang 10y agoYeah after 1-2 presentations I built a template and just drop stuff into each slide I have defined. Then if I need more slides I copy the framework bit for a single slide. Super easy.
