slides VS patat

Combination of: - http://maaslalani.com/slides/ - for slides - figlet/toilet/cowsay/lolcat - for generating titles and ascii art - https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow - for charts and diagrams

For those that are curious, I was using the `slides` CLI app to render the presentation via markdown https://github.com/maaslalani/slides

This is pretty neat!

I have playing around with using slides^1 before for doing small demos with my team, but I find that outside of highly technical geeks most people don't want to look at presentations in plain text in a terminal window. I like that this lets you create more graphical slides still using markdown + your favorite editor.

Most of the notes about the language are in an interactive readme with runnable code samples. It can be ran in 2 ways: - using nvim to evaluate code snippets inline using neovim with the mdeval plugin. Using FeMaco creates an editing floating window with rust-tools LSP attached and Treesitter attached. - using slides, an interactive terminal presentation tool

For presentations definitely check out another project of mine: https://github.com/maaslalani/slides

You could also use a presentation type tool (like tpp or slides) to practice around with?

https://github.com/maaslalani/slides came close but it only accepts one file, and the slides are split by --- inside of that file

I've been using https://github.com/jaspervdj/patat previously, but this looks like a worthy alternative. Nice work, I'll have try this out :)

Patat (https://github.com/jaspervdj/patat) supports any Pandoc input including Markdown, plus it allows embedding snippets with execution result and even images in supported terminals.

I’m a big fan of patat for last-minute presentations, it converts markdown to slideshows with support for syntax highlighting, images, bullet points, etc.
