This is amazing. I also think this will become more common. I feel there is a lot of software that can just be served locally via html/typescript/react etc and even have local state. There's just not been an economic incentive till now. I am personally using kimi k3 to create a mobile friendly set of games, starting from math like linear algebra to quantum physics - neurodivergent friendly, completely local state, se…
Hi, I'm the creator of Bento. Just wanted to share a bit more about how I created it beyond what's in Github. The file contains more or less two sections. There is a plain block of JSON near the top of the file which is the slide data. You can read, grep, or point a harness at it. The app itself is in a base64 blob that loads through a small shim which deflates in the browser with DecompressionStream, which keeps the…
This was my biggest question. Thanks for preemptively answering (and being proud!). When I was playing with this, I immediately thought of TiddlyWikis, which I've always been fond of, but they never took for me. However, an easily editable presentation -- that's a use case I can understand. I couldn't see how there was a CDRT when I'm just working with a single file. I was trying to figure out where the server was. S…
All of it just runs out of a folder on disk and can either be deployed locally or on a server behind a login. I intend to open source it, but I'm not quite proud enough yet of some of the implementation aspects to do so. Hope to do it this summer though!

I would call this a slide show not powerpoint mostly because making it work with the satanic office formats is a path to hell. Hopefully simpler formats like this will become the norm and the old ones can die.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can play around in the guestbook. I'm in it right now and you can see me editing things. Cloudflare Durable Objects are pretty cheap and I'm using it like a very basic pub/sub with each deck having it's own DO. I did some calculations and it should be well within my spend limits.
It may be annoying if two users are working at the same time in the same project.
Again, very cool project! :)
> Go to https://bento.page/guestbook/ to try out the live guestbook to experience share editing / collab. My M1 Mac froze in the end (had to hard-reboot), but that was so much fun! I guess there’s a reason Figma uses WASM and a custom renderer, though I guess your implementation should work fine for most cases (i.e. not when all of HN are trying to edit everything simultaneously :^) Two notes: 1. It would be nice if…
Thanks! I had to reset the guestbook because it's being spammed. It's on epoch 4 now, hopefully people will be better behaved moving forward! 1. Yes, that's a good point that somebody else raised also. It went pass testing as I was only testing with 1 or 2 other people at once. Will fix this tonight. 2. Yeah, agreed and fair point. But I don't write well and I don't have time between day job and being a dad. Will try…
2. Absolutely fair point, and it’s okay – the demo speaks for itself :-) Although if you wrote that submission text yourself, you do write pretty well! But obviously no pressure here.
Great project. But please check the name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bento_(database)
Bento works with a predefined schema, so you cant use any HTML library (Such as Mermaid.js) if you need it in your presentation.
But then again, often you dont need it.
Just created a presentation with Bento... I do think Reveal.js gives you more raw power. But I like bentos single html page design, and you can easily edit it manually. You cant do that with Reveal.js

Can I click upgrade and get the JSON slide deck data exported into a v2 shell?

Nice idea. What happens if you upgrade to v2 and my slide decks are on v1? Can I click upgrade and get the JSON slide deck data exported into a v2 shell?
Was using Reveal.js which worked well because it can use any HTML or any plugin.
