slidec 0.1.0

A Terminal-based Markdown Slide Presenter.

slidec

A simple python tool to present markdown in your terminal as slides.

Useful if you are wanting to do demos from the command line and refer to notes.

Works well with tmux (etc.) split planes, one for live demo, one for the slides/notes.

Option to fuzzy search and jump to selected slide if fzf is installed.

Slide Format

Slides are written in a single markdown file separated by ---.

E.g.

# Example slide 1

-  Content

---

# Example slide 2

- More content

[!NOTE] There should be no trailing white space after ---.

Run

slidec example_slides.md

Install

Dev

In chosen python environment, from repo root directory, run

pip install -e .

Navigation

Once in presentation mode

• Next slide: n or j
• Previous slide: p or k
• Select slide: g navigate with fuzzy search (requires fzf)
• quit: q

Inspiration

There are other much more robust tools for this task, such as lookatme or slides.

However, I found I could get all the functionality I needed in a single small python script.

As an exercise, I have since turned the slidec.py script it into a python package for easy install, though it still works on it's own.
