Terence EdenWhat do you use to create presentation slides in Markdown?
I'm bored of PPT, GDocs, LibreOffice.
I want to know what you *personally* use to write slides. Why do you like it? Do you recommend it? Any pitfalls?
Tom Morris@Edent Markdown using the MARP tooling if I'm talking to nerds.
I've done Emacs Org files but that's too much faff.
If it has to be normie-compat, Keynote is marginally preferable to PowerPoint, GDocs et al.
@tommorris Emacs? *runs screaming in terror*
I'll checkout MARP.
Thomas Kräftner@Edent @tommorris Second vote for https://marp.app/
Here is an example of slides I created with it: https://kraftner.com/talks/managing-your-dependencies-in-wordpress/
@Edent Marp has a JS implementation, a VS Code plugin, and there was some kind of standalone Electron app thing I've used in the past.
Emacs and Org mode is quite nice, because it is similar to a Markdown file but with slightly better structure, and you can use the various org-focus commands to bounce around the outline. And because it's just a doc, it is fairly easy to turn into HTML.
(Don't fear Emacs! Doom distro is nice once you've had your brain suitably cooked by Vim keybindings.)
amykhar@tommorris @Edent I just went down the MARP rabbit hole. I'd never heard of it before, but it looks really cool.
