This will no longer be deveoloped. There are so many fancy solutions out there. Also I learned for myself that creating a rich and awesome presentation needs more then markup.
Markdown powered presentation tool build on Electron / Node.js
Grab a build from here. Be aware that this is a pre-release. There might be 🐛 🐉.
Init the project by running:
#install nodejs using homebrew
brew install node
git clone [email protected]:frntl/frontal.git && cd frontal
# if you use nvm you can run
# nvm use
# if you are using mert you can run
# mert start
npm install
npm startTo write nice ES2015 style we use babel. Therefore we need to watch the whole src/ and compile it to app. Run it like this in the root of the directory (additional files in the src folder will also be copied by babel into the app/ folder):
npm run watch
To write on the default theme scss you can run
npm run sassdefault
For packing the app we use the electron-builder package. Therefor we have two package.json files. If you want to add another module (currently - will be improved) you will need to:
# dont do this while the watch task is running!
cd app/
npm install [your-module] --save && cat package.json ../src/package.json
To run the tests just do a
npm test
For buildung the distribution version we use the electron-builder package. To make this work we have two package.json files. One in the root for development (devDependencies) and one in the src/ folder for distribution. Run
npm run dist
for building the package

- remarkjs.com
- slidify.org

- decksetapp.com
- swipe.to/markdown
- ycosxapp.github.io
So why writing another app for this task? Well on the one hand it is for learning application development with electron. On the other hand we started this because all the other options did have one or the other thing that we didn't like. (And because we can)
