This application enables you to edit markdown files for use with Deckset, allowing you to treat each slide individually, edit slides, remove slides, reorder slides, and save the file again.
This is something I wrote for my own amusement and use, that you may find useful. But it probably has some flaws I don't know about yet.
It absolutely may have bugs that cause your presentation to be garbled.
The UI is a little ugly at the moment (particularly since I haven't hooked up a menu bar, but it's basically functional). There are a couple of parse bugs that will proabably affect some presentation files.
This is my first project using Electron and Elm together, so the code is undoubtedly not-optimal in spots.
I haven't installed this cold, so I'm not sure how this will go.
You need to install Electron and Elm. Elm uses version 0.19.
You need to install dependencies with yarn install. Elm dependencies
should load on first build.
This still runs within the Electron shell rather than standalone.
yarn run start will build the elm files and start the electron app.
You can load a file from Open in the menu, you can save from the menu. There's no Save As..
yet, saving a file with a known location saves the file to that location.
Saving a file saves all open slides in edit mode.
The + button at the top creates a new slide.
Once you have slides, they will display in somewhat rendered markdown.
Each slide can be moved up or down with the errors. Clicking the pencil opens an edit box for the slide. Clicking the trash can deletes the slide. Clicking append adds a new slide after that slide. The edit menu and right click menu will give you the same set of options
An edited slide can be saved or canceled with disk emoji button or the x emoji button.
Slides can also be dragged and dropped to move their location in the presentation.
- Metadata isn't handled at all and will stay attached to the slide it comes with
- Tables are misparsed (the
---in the header is interpreted as a new slide).
- Save as to a new file
- Protection for overwriting unsaved data
- Optional autosave on change
- The vertical size of the slides is weird, especially with images
- Long text can overrun the width of the slide
