Show HN: LiveCoder
LiveCoder is a fun tool I built almost a year ago to simulate live coding Frontend technologies for my presentations. You actually don't have to live-code, but just prepare beforehand the program, snippets of HTML, CSS and Javascript and you feed the tool with it, so you can just focus on explaining what's being coded. Simple :-)
I never really shared this tool, but I used it in a few presentations quite succesfully, so I think it could be an interesting tool to use. You have full control of the speed. You can pause and resume... An entire app can be live-coded with this. It's quite fun to watch ;-)
There is a Demo in the repo, a bit slow at the beginning but wait until the end, gets better. Hope you enjoy it and please, feedback would be very much appreciated.

- boffinism 9y agoI love the demo. Can you pause and resume dynamically, or do you always have to embed the pause and resume points into the pre-prepared script?
- jscriptcoder 9y agoYou can pause by clicking on the document, and resume by clicking again. But I might also add some keypress for that, like "p" to pause and resume (play), in case document click does already something else in the app. Thanks for the feedback.
- galfarragem 9y agoAn occasional misspelling and slightly variable speed would make it more authentic :)
- jscriptcoder 9y agoSounds like fun. I could add a configuration item such as: { humaLike: true } to introduce a more human behaviour. Thanks for the feedback
- anonfunction 9y agoI would make the demo link more prominent because it is really cool.
- jscriptcoder 9y agoThanks. I'll do so
- lozzo 9y agoimpressive. You would deserve more stars on github... World is an unfair place.
- jscriptcoder 9y agoThanks :-)
