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…

if you extract ppt it is a xml file !! fyi !

That's how Claude works with pptx files, but the format is terrible to work with harnesses. Maybe that's going to improve but the it's currently the user experince is not good.

It would be interesting to see one note done same way/source?

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…

The concept that's MAGICAL in Reveal.js is vertical slides. e.g. https://revealjs.com/#/2/1 You just make one slide deck with lightweight high-abstraction slides and depending on the audience you just... hit the down arrow. bam. now you're inside the tech slides. no nerdy tech guys? sweet, don't hit down on slide 3. Instead you're with the marketing guys, so hit down on slide 5. Anyway - looks like you got rid of tha…
