I recently discovered Deckset and I must say I was very happy with it (for markdown editing + PDF export, with code highlighting). Example of use: https://speakerdeck.com/thbar/de-rails-a-phoenix-retour-dexp...
This looks amazing. Is it a custom theme, perhaps?

Now see, that I agree with. I merely disagree that sent's useless unless you have a taste for NIH.
Who called it useless? But ascribing rampant NIH to suckless is hardly a strain on credulity; otherwise they'd just use FreeBSD, instead of reinventing it piecemeal on the Linux kernel.
And no, I don't argue that NIH doesn't exist in other suckless projects, merely that it isn't the rationale for sent. Sent has some solid advantages over anything else out there, at least for me.

You did describe it in a way that implied it was useless if NIH wasn't your thing. And no, I don't argue that NIH doesn't exist in other suckless projects, merely that it isn't the rationale for sent. Sent has some solid advantages over anything else out there, at least for me.

I don't agree that the implication you ascribe is present, or that sent isn't primarily motivated by NIH in the same way that more or less all of the suckless repertoire appears to be, but reasonable people can differ on such points without acrimony. In any case, I'm glad you found something that suits you.
HN is a lot like Youtube comments: There's a lot of arguing, but sometimes, people treat each other decently. It's honestly kinda surreal, coming from 4chan, reddit, or tumblr.
Very nice. I wrote a very similar authoring / presentation tool based on MD. It's being used as the presentation app for Axway's instructor-led training and Open Badge authoring. : https://twitter.com/tzmartin/status/687011251172458496 Slide authoring supports nearly all of Deckset syntax (plus a few more tokens), slide configuration and custom themes.
I like the way our tools went from Text -> Graphical interface -> Text You can see this with all the CLI tools being introduced for traditional programs. I suppose people appreciate control and automation.
you like that? I can see how you might like a command line as opposed to a dumbed-down, simplistic, and intelligence-insulting GUI. But I cannot see how you can love Markdown. A shit standard that uglifies everything it touches, instead of celebrating the beauty of typography. There is no inconsistency between liking command line, and being demanding in terms of text layout. Just ask LaTeX.
Do anybody simplify LaTeX for these kind of jobs? Sometimes I think they have much in common, except that LaTeX is much more complicated.
Shameless plug: I'm a lecturer and have scratched this itch some time ago with a pet project that a couple lecturers are using now: https://github.com/munen/p_slides/ It doesn't ship it's own editor, because everyone already has a favorite(for me that's formerly vim, now Emacs). It's only static files, so it doesn't need a server or pre-compilation. It's extensible, has syntax highlighting and produces PDFs for the s…
Great work! Are you aware of markdeep? https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ ...support for it might be a nice addition to this project.
