reveal.js is a web-based presentation framework for creating interactive HTML slide decks. It provides core presentation functionality including slide navigation, fragments, themes, transitions, and multimedia support through a modular architecture. The system consists of a core Reveal.js class that manages presentation state, specialized controllers for features like keyboard input, fragments, and slide content, and a plugin system for extending functionality (e.g., markdown, math, notes, zoom). The framework is distributed as an npm package with UMD, ESM, and TypeScript definitions, and includes a React wrapper for component-based usage. The architecture follows a modular controller pattern where each presentation aspect (keyboard, fragments, progress, etc.) is handled by a dedicated controller class with bind/unbind lifecycle methods. Plugins register initialization and destruction methods through a centralized plugin manager. The React wrapper encapsulates reveal.js functionality into reusable components (Deck, Slide, Stack, Fragment) with a useReveal hook for API access. Build processes use Vite and TypeScript for modern bundling, with separate configurations for core, plugins, and themes. The codebase demonstrates strong engineering practices: clear separation of concerns, isolated utility modules (color conversion, device detection), comprehensive TypeScript definitions, and extensive test coverage. Recent commits indicate active maintenance, and the project maintains compatibility with modern web standards while avoiding legacy dependencies. The plugin system and utility modules exhibit high reusability potential for extraction into other projects.
presenterm is a Rust-based CLI application that renders Markdown presentations directly in the terminal. It parses Markdown into a structured intermediate representation via comrak, then builds slides as sequences of render operations. The rendering engine supports rich text, images, code highlighting through bat/syntect, column layouts, themes, slide transitions, footers, speaker notes, and interactive keyboard-driven navigation. It also includes PDF/HTML export backends and hot-reload for live presentation development.
Spiel is a terminal-based framework for creating and presenting slide decks using Python. It enables users to define slides as functions that return renderable objects (via Rich), and presents them in a navigable terminal user interface built with Textual. The framework supports features like live reloading during development, slide transitions, and dynamic content generation through a trigger system. The architecture centers around a `Deck` class that manages a sequence of `Slide` objects. Each slide's content is defined by a function that can optionally receive a `Triggers` object for time-based or interactive effects. The presentation is driven by a custom Textual application (`SpielApp`) that handles user input, screen transitions (including slide-to-slide animations), and automatic reloading of the deck when source files change. Key components include the CLI for launching presentations, a flexible slide definition system, and reusable widgets for rendering content such as syntax-highlighted code and images. Notable reusable components include the `Triggers` class for managing interactive state, the `Swipe` transition for slide animations, the `Image` widget for terminal image display, and a set of utility functions (`clamp`, `filter_join`, `chunks`) that solve common programming problems. These components are designed with low coupling and could be extracted for use in other projects with minimal modification.
This repository is an awesome list (curated resource collection) for the Marp Markdown Presentation Ecosystem. It categorizes and links to official Marp projects, community tools, themes, plugins, and example deployments. There is no executable application code, data pipeline, or library; the entire content is a single README.md file with markdown formatting and a CI workflow (awesome-lint + Prettier) to enforce quality. The repo is actively maintained with recent commits and clean CI. It serves as a central discovery hub for the Marp community, but offers no reusable software components or data assets.
