remark VS reveal.js

Eh there are loads of these based on Markdown that are much better. I think revealjs is the most popular, but I like remarkjs:

There's a list of them here:

Thanks for your comment, u/legitEngin. Indeed, I do see a slew of Markdown-to-presentation plugins (this work was inspired by one at https://github.com/gnab/remark), and I hope I can inspire more instructors to consider using plain text to organize their work instead of lugging around heavy PPTs.

remarkjs github; easy guide; simple demo with default settings

One of my proudest open source contributions is also to excalidraw. It's a small tweak. Since about a year ago, chrome will re-save the .png to disk when you ctrl+s or cmd+s (with the embedded scene, and without prompting for a location). It gives you a really nice workflow for documentation and remark-style slides for presentations.

just some text, but easy to tweak/adopt/write? -> https://remarkjs.com

It's a good idea, which is why it's already been done. That's not to say you shouldn't finish it! You might improve on the idea, or it might just be a good learning experience.

I've given presentations in ReMark before, which is basically "markdown -> web slideshow" using a JS blob. Worked alright for simple presentations without complicated formatting needs, and loads all the images on the fly, so it implicitly picks up any re-generated figures. It also made it very easily to collaborate on presentations via GitHub, since the whole "presentation" was a short text file.

There are a few GitHub repositories on my account where you can find some of my presentations, created with reveal.js, a framework for creating presentations using HTML and Markdown.

I did not come about trying it out yet but Reveal.js looks very interesting to me and I think I will use it once I find the time to learn it...

I think i'm not in the same ballpark but i really really liked reveal.js

it's reveal.js for those unfamiliar

https://revealjs.com/

I've not tried it myself or seen an example, but given the structure, it would seem like Reveal.js might give you the the sort of functionality you're looking for while having many other affordances one might look for in a digital and/or online zettelkasten.

As an aside, learning Reveal.js ( https://revealjs.com ) would be something for longer term growth, but if you don't know it now and you have a time limit, its not something to get into. If you do know JavaScript, HTML and want to give it a try (don't spend more than 2h without results - time boxing the "this doesn't work" is important) you could host it in a GitHub repo and point a browser at it.

Most of these use https://revealjs.com/ to create static HTML and Javascript files for display in a browser.

In the end I settled for reveal.js which as far as I remember has this notes functionality (although I never used it). It creates an html for you which I find very convenient for any presentation over internet. It has some learning curve but it's not too complicated.
