What is Reddit's opinion of Reveal.js?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Currently writing a presentation using reveal.js. Switching to devd from http-server, which I had switched to from python3 -m http.server. So far, devd is very nice. Surprising how much of a difference little ergonomic touches can make in the final experience. Thank you!

Also, thanks for the link to the Cisco bandwidth study -- super useful!

Reveal.js is a more popular, full featured alternative that also supports markdown slides.

Why not just come out and say "hey guys, check out a summary of how great my framework is!"?

You could have just linked to remarkjs.com and left it at that, but that would not conform to this sub's guidelines of posts having something remotely to do with PHP. Instead this comes across as an advertisement for your own content - 2 things that also go against this sub's content guidelines.

Et si tu t'y connais un peu en html, il y a toujours Reveal.js qui fait toujours bonne impression ! (testé et approuvé pour ma soutenance de stage il y a deux ans) ou Slides que je viens juste de découvrir qui a l'air d'être la même chose mais avec une interface graphique pour créer tes slides.

You could use pandoc to write your slides using markdown. It supports various html backends, the "fanciest" probably being reveal.js.

You would need to create your graphics using an external tool. Syntax highlighting should be excellent, but I've had some problems with slightly advanced LaTeX math.

Hi,

I've recently created an internal build status board for our development team and what I've done is the following:

• Simple Azure WebSite (MVC) in the bottom using Azure Table Storage as data store.
  
• WebAPI endpoints for getting data for the different pages.
• One landing page where all the magic occurs:
  • reveal.js (http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/) to handle presentation (spinning cube stuff)
  • Knockout for data-bindings
  • SingalR to push data from the server out to the client, and also trigger stuff on the server
  • Some javascript to automatically flip to the page in the cube that recieves data.
    

We currently have 3 screens that it rotates between, with each screen showing only one thing (all the guys need to be able to see it, so we run large fonts). The result is pretty sweet :)

Det finns även många bra alternativ om man kan knacka lite html/javascript

Till exempel:

• reveal.js (http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/)
• impress.js (http://bartaz.github.com/impress.js/#/bored)
• deck.js http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/

Have you ever thought it was sad that your presentation software was NOT powered by javascript yet? I sure did. http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/ MIT license You can even do them online and host them publicly with the free as in free beer plan https://slides.com/explore To be honest I've never used it myself but it looks fancy.

Comunque, il mio contributo all'insonnia thread:

Per domani mattina devo scrivere una breve presentazione e sto aspettando che finisca di ricompilare Node per installare il server di Reveal.js, perché quando faccio le presentazioni mi piace farle con stile ^(e finirle all'ultimo minuto)

reveal.js requires you to code your slides in html, but they look super awesome. It has built in helpers to do things such as slide animations, code syntax highlighting etc.

Well worth a look.

Edit: sent from phone link didn't work :/ will fix when I'm back at PC

It's not specific to NNs, but if you want to do interactive presentations the best option by far is HTML5 and some sort of presentation framework. Combined with D3 you can do some impressive stuff.

(Firefox dev here) I've experienced those issues with WebGL/OpenGL in general as well. For example, try the reveal.js demo on Firefox/Linux. The transitions are jerky and uneven. Unfortunately this appears to be a Linux issue (probably rooted in drivers/driver support) - the transitions look fine in Firefox on Mac/Windows.

The mouse movement update issues are a symptom of "jank", which occurs because Firefox is multi-threaded, not multi-process, and too much happens on the main thread, which causes UI performance to suffer if there's a lot of other stuff going on at the same time. There have been a lot of attempts to improve this recently, and the e10s (multiprocess) project is designed to eliminate them completely.

a combination of JS for fetching the random snippets and CSS 3D transformations for the animations I think

Their CSS shows they're using perspective, preserve 3D and transformations.

A similar effect I've seen posted here, although for slideshows is this: http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/

http://lab.hakim.se/meny/ is somewhat similar. it's what I thought of when I saw it.

http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/

Without the animation you can use the above to go up and down like your website.

Pretty slick but I think it's probably very easy to produce.

I feel that the automagic decisions made by WYSIWYG tools waste more time than they save, but I can't write LATEX.

However I can write HTML, so the last time I needed to give a presentation I used reveal.js, it was easy for me to jump directly to work and I could spend more time polishing the content than fighting the interface.

The method by which you paginate isn't the issue here - you can have left/right or j/k shortcuts on most any pagination system (see reveal.js for example). It's the horizontal pagination where you see "pages" of variable size on wider windows that's the problem here.

Mathbox^2 for most of it;

KaTeX for the LaTeX typesetting;

reveal.js as presentation framework (this particular gif I could've made without it, but I was trying to learn how to make slides using mathbox for presentation purposes).

cool. Also never heard of this before but looks nice. From the client side it looks very very similar to reveal.js but on the dev side it's totally different. Reveal just uses plain html and you never need to touch JS if you don't want/need to)

Not sure about your experience level but if you can build web apps, this is a presentation based library you might find useful for what you're trying to do: http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/

It allows you to arrow key over to the next slide, storing the number of the slide in the URL so you can access it.

Something I haven't seen is a way to sort through things based on your preferences

Fork this JavaScript library http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/

and make the following key modifications to make it into a sorting app: Make it so it reads a JSON list or a pasted in list and presents two options to the user and you choose which is better and it implements a sorting algorithm to let you sort your list based on your preferences. Add lawnchair.js integration so it saves state and so you can sort through several lists Finally: Make it into an app and put it on both app stores Or make it into a site that a user can add to their home page when they have uploaded a list

Later add in features to allow multi user access to sort a particular list

That's one idea and I hope it helps. I have many more and I can provide more details on this one if you want but id rather not type them in so contact me and you can call via Skype if you want

One that I happen to like is Reveal.js. It takes a bit more technical knowledge to use (you have to write your presentation with HTML; there's an online editor, but I've never really used it), but the result is a presentation that works great in a web browser without the overhead of having to use Google Docs.

I too would like to know what he used. His Github didn't help much.

Here is another based on Reveal.js: https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal . Here is how it looks (online preview): http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/ .

This is reveal.js, which is a pretty cool HTML5 presentation tool. I've written several presentations using it in the past.

It has several nice features including remote presentation controls.

Can't recommend reveal.js enough (you can get the source here. There's also slides.com if you're afraid to dive into the markup for Reveal, but it's not too tricky.

Why not try one of the below links? Then all you need is a browser like Chrome, press F11 and you're sorted with a slick looking slideshow :)

• http://bartaz.github.io/impress.js/#/title
• http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/ (my fav)
• http://slides.com/

I've been using a similar system Reveal.js for my presentations, but this takes it further by removing the need to code and adding a ton of great features.

The pros to using HTML based presentations like this is that they scale to any screen size/aspect ratio and don't require you, your client, or your collaborators to have the same fonts, programs, ect.

reveal.js is a very full-featured html5 presentation app, and doesn't require python. You can build slides as html, markdown, or use the author's wysiwyg UI at slid.es (slid.es isn't open source, but reveal.js is).

To get started, you probably want to google around for something like "html5 slideshow framework". http://slid.es/ and it's underlying framework http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js is something I came across on reddit a year or so ago. I used slid.es for an internal presentation, just for the fun of it. It was simple enough to embed whatever you liked, even iframe to other sites with a little bit of html/css/js. The xml templates and quiz are probably the hardest parts. Most frameworks you find should be able to handle the rest.
