Presention Deck / Slideshow Creation

An integral part of software engineering development is presenting your ideas and solutions (typically in a conference with some remote participants).

Common barriers to entry

Generally presentation deck / slideshow creation technologies suffer from some significant barriers to use:

  • Expensive — PowerPoint
  • Proprietary, non-standard, unsupported — third-party
  • Heavyweight — results a big binary blobs
  • Complicated, non-intuitive technique — infrequent use, hard to remember
  • Platform-dependent results (PPTX) — requires specific viewing software
  • Don't integrate well with engineering workflow — Google Slides

My functional wish-list

  • Cost — Free
  • Usage — Quick and simple to use
  • Results — Lightweight, Standalone, and Portable
  • Integration — Seamless with engineering workflow
  • Presenter sharing mode — For teleconferences

My chosen solution

  • Creation — Favorite text editor
  • Formatting — Standard Markdown
  • Viewing — Any modern web browser
  • Dependencies — Open-source, stand-alone remark.js package
  • Use existing git source code management versioning workflow

Have your own deck up in 2 minutes!

  1. Download this all-in-one HTML file
  2. Open in your favorite text editor
  3. Edit the existing content to your needs
  4. Load in web browser to display, and
    • use 'c' to clone window to share
    • use 'p' to enter presentation mode
  5. git commit presentation when finished
  6. Schedule a meeting 🙂
