This looks like it's going in the same direction as Deckset (https://www.deckset.com/ https://www.deckset.com/) and reveal-md (https://github.com/webpro/reveal-md https://github.com/webpro/reveal-md) – 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).
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?
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.
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!

- abusedmedia 6y agoThank you to take the time for this comment. The nature of the library (which the tool is built on) allows many different input formats, indeed, I'm working on a markdown/yaml version that supports additional features such as what you suggested. Stay tuned!
