Reveal.js: HTML presentation framework

“A good use case for Reveal.js is if you have several presentations that share slides: I wrote a simple builder script that would pull groupings of slides together into different presentations, as well as watcher scripts to rebuild automatically when I saved:”

Reveal.js: HTML presentation framework

“I heavily use/rely on Reveal.js. Lately I switched over to use RevealJS via asciidoctor [1] and I was really pleasantly suprised how far you can get (see example presentation [2]) and completly sticking to the Asciidoctor-way (source [3]) [1] [2] [3]”

Direction: Track A — visual guidance as soft reference + human-curated layered structure

“> **Update (reframed per discussion):** > 1. The native-diagram track moved to its own thread → #167. > 2. Per @hugohe3's point on curation, I'm **dropping the automated "memory-loop" / "self-evolving" framing**. Track A is **visual guidance as a soft reference + a…”

Slidev – Presentation Slides for Developers

“Slidev is amazing! It's an alternative to Google Slides/Keynote/Powerpoint, allowing you to code your slides as a website so you have more granular control. The slides are written in markdown so it's very intuitive and easily maintainable: ``` # Slidev Hello World --- # Page 2…”

Slidev – Presentation Slides for Developers

“ok this is definitely helpful. I wonder why this website or the demo are not linked in a noticeable place on Github README. The first thing I clicked in the readme is "Why Slidev?", which brings me to the documentation page that had almost nothing graphical.”

Impress.js - a Prezi like implementation using CSS3 3D transformations

“Well, no. The project already said what you suggest, in fact several times. Roughly: "It's a presentation framework based on the power of CSS3 transforms and transitions in modern browsers and inspired by the idea behind prezi.com." More or less exactly what you said:…”

Impress.js - a Prezi like implementation using CSS3 3D transformations

“Impress.js is an awesome piece of tech—but I wouldn't use it for a presentation: There's just a very fine line between over- and underdoing a presentation. It's never good just to dash off a presentation with lousy layout and design but it may not be beneficial to overdo a…”

[BUG] Urls with appended '/index.html.md' resulting in 404 errors

“## 🐛 Bug Description Skillseekers attempts to fetch urls that don't exist. Often appending a '.md' to urls. Or appending a 'index.html' to anchor links. Also it shouldn't be making separate requests for anchor links in the first place, since all that content should be included…”

Marp: Markdown Presentation Writer

“Very cool! I'm trying to write my own markdown-to-reveal (to know revealjs supports Markdown, but it's a bit of a hack and doesn't fit my workflow or lecturing needs). If I have one critique from growing the docs: I find myself giving presentations on the fly. I hack around on…”

Marp: Markdown Presentation Writer

“Disagree all you like. The same is true of org-mode with reveal, or Marp, or any of myriad other tools. There's no magic to suckless software. It's just a lot more opinionated than most, a trait which plainly suits you well.”

Dear NSA, let me take care of your slides.

“These slides are certainly prettier and less crowded than the NSA slides, but they are, if anything, less readable. Unless the slides are intentionally informed by the principle that hard to read text is easier to remember ( ), I think these slides are a classic case of form…”

Dear NSA, let me take care of your slides.

“Have you considered creating something that would help tie the content to the person viewing the slides? Might be really useful for any security sensitive organization. For example, if the color scheme on certain graphics was programmatically modified slightly for each person…”

The Society of the Spectacle

“To answer Adorno's quote: that's fine, do literature then. Do not present it as philosophy. Some people explain machine learning using haikus, that's a fine exercise, but not a good engineering practice. The Capital does not need to be deciphered. I read it, it is not the…”

The Society of the Spectacle

“>I don't think the goal of the textual medium should be to disorient the reader "Now, from what you write about my language, to be honest, I find it very difficult to imagine that you mean it seriously. Your argumentation shows a true obsession with the thought of the reader.…”

Presenterm: Markdown Slideshows in the Terminal

“I've been creating slides with markdown and revealjs for my day job as an instructor for several years. I've also used obsidian and quarto for markdown->slide creation for a handful of meetups / conferences. This month I tried writing a kubecon talk using presenterm and had to…”

Show HN: Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)

“A bit off-topic, but it is interesting that you say this. Just earlier today I listened to Startups for the Rest of Us podcast episode 842 [1] titled "The future of SaaS in an AI World", where host Rob Walling addresses the "SaaS is dead" question. One of his arguments is that…”

Show HN: Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)

“Can you clarify the collab architecture and what gets shared vs. not shared with Bento servers to enable this collaboration?”

MathJax integration?

“Hi, thank you for this awesome tool! I'm trying to add some math inside the presentation I'm creating and since I'm used to using LaTeX I'd like to embed MathJax ( ) inside the bundle. I've tried by updating the `.fusumarc.yml` file as follows, but with no luck: ```yaml extends:…”

Slide contents are empty after page 6

“I tried version 1.5.0 with a set of slides that used to work at version 1.1.2. I used a _single_ `.md` file for slides. All slides after page 6 displayed no content, that is, for example: ``` ::before ::after ``` The pages were still exist, and all CSS and js still worked, but…”

Nbdev: A literate programming environment that democratizes best practices

“nbdev looks promising. I'm wondering if it solves what I see as the biggest pain of using notebooks when I'm doing data science work. When a notebook gets large, it can be difficult to keep track of dependencies between cells. For workflows in which you have to run cells n_1,…”

Nbdev: A literate programming environment that democratizes best practices

“I have used Nbdev and I am not a fan. It creates friction when one wants to contribute (in my case, to fast.ai) and forces you to write your code with notebooks which is the point but also not great when you are writing code rather than producing a display mixing text and…”

Accessibility enhancements: add role=application to body. Add explicit (hidden) link to launch full view

“Recent testing with a screen reader user has demonstrated two challenges I didn't anticipate in my earlier PR. 1. JAWS screen reader intercepts all keystrokes. This can be alleviated by adding `role="application`" to the ` ` element. This will enable JAWS users to traverse…”

Publish on bower

“Used shower for my slides and it worked great. But the workflow could be better, I think. When the shower repo and the themes would be published on [bower]( one could create a new presentation more easy. It would separate the logic from the actual presentation. Then it would not…”
