Oh hell no.
Whoever thought yaml was a good idea (not for this project, I mean at all, ever) is mentally deficient. Those that insist on using it are barely any better.

YAML is a mess of a language but what's wrong with npm?

#34On macOS, I strongly recommend DeckSet[0]. It's a Keynote/Powerpoint from Markdown, especially valuable when you embed code in your presentations. [0]: https://www.deckset.com/
i'm completely willing to support good software with money, but there are so many amazing options being posted in this thread that are feature rich, multiplatform, and free. why do you choose deckset when it's missing two of these three? are there must-have features that the others don't offer?
Re: Fusuma – Make slides with MarkDown easily
#35I’m surprised no one’s mentioned pandoc by now. It’s a Swiss army knife that among other things makes slides from Markdown documents and lets you pick from a number of JS templates or Latex/Beamer. Converting Markdown to PDF slides is just a simple-ish oneliner away. And terrific for a whole number of other use cases, too - including but not limited to Markdown Word, Epub conversion, HTML conversion and endless other…
I use pandoc to output revealjs presentations when I want to present web things (with links, videos or gifs). And it is good as I have some teaching content that I use in webpages, in presentation and for print.
Presentation notes kind of work, but I don't like them (in general, not just for revealjs)?

What’s right with it?
It makes it easy to distribute tools and libraries. There are security concerns but for something like this, it seems like a fine distribution method. No one is stopping you from just cloning the repo if you don't want to use npm though.

#37Something really irreverent: it is Markdown not MarkDown.

#38I'm a big fan of code-surfer, which uses MDX.

The community/npm encourages things like the `isEven`, etc bullshit.
A whole package, to do `foo % 2 === 0` ?? Oh but then it has a dependency on ANOTHER package which just checks if a variable is a number.
Oh and then there's the isOdd, which is an entire package.. to do `! isEven`... ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Nice questions!
I use DeckSet since a lot of years, I find it easy to use and I love the result. I don’t care about multi platform because I’m doing my presentation on a Mac. I don’t care paying fair prices to software.
The only downside I found was the lack of customization offered.
I’ll look into the GitHub list, especially to the 2 others macOS apps
