Reveal.js is great. 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: 1) It running on a server reading new slideshows automatically, and 2) To write the slides in pure markdown (like how some others use `---` for slide separation). 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. 1) Make sure Erlang is installed 2) clone the repo 3) put your slideshows in its "slideshow/" directory (slideshows must end with .markdown) 4) make 5) make run 6) Open browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000 http://127.0.0.1:8000 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.
