# davetron5000's ideal presentation software

* Editable as text, preferably markdown
* Plays in a browser
* Deployable to heroku or other service completely statically
* clean default look that is easy to customize without slogging through generated HTML
* hard-fix the dimensions, e.g. 1024x768 for projectors
* support for remote control for advancing

## Slide Types

* **Big Honkin' Title** - one string that fills the screen, preferably sizes to fit
* **Bullets** - one large, optional title, and 2-5 bullets that build on move forward, sized to fit
* **Code** - this is important:
  * Syntax highlighting
  * Size scales to fit area
  * ability to "build" code snippets, e.g. show adding/modification of code
  * ability to get code from external file, using refs, e.g. # START:foo..#END:foo
  * ability to highlight certain lines or sections of code
* **Command Line** - show command-line execution, then results, typing-out style like showoff, but with ANSI support
* **Image** - centered image, scaled automatically to fit, possibly with a title

## Transitions

I don't really like transitions, so I don't care about them.  Sorry reveal.js and deck.js

## Styling

* Dead simple support for themes
* Default to high-contrast black on white - suitable for shitty conference projectors
* Separation of colors/fonts from sizing of things
* Things top-aligned, not middle aligned (so people in the back can see stuff)

## What `showoff` is missing

* All my crazy code slide requirements
* support for themes
* ANSI in command-line output
* automatic font-size scaling

## What `reveal.js` is missing

* Almost everything; editing slides in HTML is just brutal
* default style is super-small titles and fonts
* huge pain to change the style - clashes with transitions
* flippy/floppy 3d is neato-keen, but just too annoying for a real presentation

## `deck.js`?

* same deal - tiny fonts, pointless animations, editing in HTML is teh suck
