impress.md.js

impress.md.js is a JavaScript library to make impressive presentation by utilizing impress.js in markdown style.

This source code is generated by generator-webapp that supports great features like minification and live reload in order to quickly and efficiently make great presentation.

Motivations

This aims at making great presentation for audiences to easily understand its contents, not at making just flashy presentation.

Here are examples.

• Demo 1
  • Zoom-in and -out are very suitable representations to show an overview of something first and zoom in its details after the overview
• Demo 2
  • 3D transition is nice representation for audiences to clearly understand 3D structure of something

Such representations were impossible or quite tough to be made with traditional presentation tools. Thanks to web technologies, it is easier to make effective representation and a new presentation tool for doing that.

It is important to create something new which web technologies can do, not to just mimic something which traditional technologies did.

Prerequisites

• npm
• Bower
• Grunt

Please note that this does NOT require Compass and gem command in Ruby which generator-webapp requires for compiling *.scss files by default. Instead, this uses Less through grunt-contrib-less for compiling *.less files.

How to use

First of all, you need to get this source code and external modules.

$ git clone https://github.com/eqot/impress.md.js.git

You can edit app/content.md for presentation contents and app/styles/* for styles. Then you can see presentation by running the following command.
