Squeenote
A way for nerds to present to other nerds
For audiences like this.
Presenter Follow
Squeenote keeps everyone's view on the presentation in sync.
If you're in the audience, you can browse the presentation as you please and rejoin the presenter whenever you like. It works using HTML5 websockets and the souls of the damned.
Presentation == a web page.
A Squeenote presentation is just an ordered list. Each item in the list is a slide.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>My presentation</title>
...
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>
Slide 1
</li>
<li>
Slide 2
</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>Modular == Themeable
- Squeenote's opinionated (but simple) markup lets you apply your own styles and transitions.
- Default theme uses CSS3 transitions for animation.
- Squeenote publishes events that you can use for transitions and styling.
- Since a presentation is just an HTML file, themes are just CSS and Javascript.
Modular == Hackable
- Squeenote's classes are replaceable on a per-presentation basis.
