a year ago I’ve released the early beta version of Presenta Lib. After many iterations, here the version 1.0 with a focus on playing nice with the automation era.
Feedback welcome!
I made a little project using the public Github API and other stuff I’m working on.

Here a mini-configurator that let you permute possible look&feel combinations of my open-source presentation library, PRESENTA Lib.
Open to any feedback!
I’ve released the third iteration of the editor built on top of PRESENTA Lib, my open-source javascript library to create web presentations.
As in previous iterations, the feedback from you were really helpful.
I’d love to get some more!
Cheers!
I've added a couple of props in the script, you can set the same values present in the dropdown menu in Play tool. Fullscreen can be activating by pressing 'f' on a specific presentation. Btw I might add a more explicit UI, though.
Out of curiosity, does MkDoc parse correctly the whole content without actually parsing the chunk for Presenta?
I got curious, thus, I make a proof.
Embedding a hosted presentation, it's just a matter of using an iframe: https://codepen.io/abusedmedia/pen/zYKBOXb
An here a test to avoid external hosting: https://codepen.io/abusedmedia/pen/YzGWPzY
The last one requires to download the libraries locally following the same example of flochart.js in MKDocsPlus.
It would be nice if you can test it out.
I agree with every principles in your argument, but even in this case, this tool can beat PPT in SOME cases.
I need to create 2/3 decks per week for my students, decks with some words, images, links, code, video, interactive object, etc that I present to them and after that they use as handouts. I’ve tested many tools for this stuff (PPT included), thus, I know precisely the different pro’s and con’s.
Btw, to me “words” and “short sentense” are very different things than “long-form text” and “dense information”, sorry if that wasn’t clear, my fault.
If you present few times a year in important events, sure, you'd better using a tool that allows pushing every single pixels because it makes sense for your situation and you have time/skills for.
But if you need to produce (many) documents for reports/lessons/references maybe you'd prefer something that automate a bit more and because you're not interested spending time to invent graphics design.
Also, what you say about images vs text, again, you're right when you're making a show. If you present information that needs to be understood very well, I can assure you that words and (short) sentences displayed when you're speaking, can help a tons.
Then, I need to figure out how to allow end-users to include external plugins in Play tool.
Right now the dev-doc to create plugin is not ready yet, hopefully to release very soon.
A month ago I’ve released my very own open source project, followed by a bare-bones tool built on top of it. I’ve listen a lot from the community and now, here a sensible update.
The most significant features are:
- not only plain-text but markdown, yaml, json and even javascript can be used to create slides! - it’s possible to use local files and it can run offline (since it’s a pwa) - it saves everything you do, locally - you can share a presentation with one click - better UX of the editor
Hope you find it useful and I’m open to feedback and suggestions.
Thanks!
