Turning the terminal into a worse web browser is such a silly decision. I really wish we had better environments for this stuff. Something like MatLab. I suppose achieving such a thing on the ubiquity of the UNIX text streams model would be immensely difficult.
Presenterm: Markdown Slideshows in the Terminal

Re: Presenterm: Markdown Slideshows in the Terminal
#12brb re-creating pitch deck with presenterm to take presenterm from OSS to closed/limited/business source licensed software (ie, hashicorp strategy) then IPO.
Then rug pull the stonk. Leave retail holding the bag, go on permanent leave, get a golden parachute, then some cookie cutter MBA scumbag takes over and ruins it further. Subsequently gets sold to big tech for pennies, and IP gets shelved.
In the meanwhile, FOSS community forks presenterm and a divergence occurs.
The rinse and repeat :). The circle of scamming.

#13Phenomenal - I've been using patat for this:
https://github.com/jaspervdj/patat
This has in line snippet execution, critical for how I present - so lets switch to this.

#14What is the benfit of doing this in the terminal over tools such as Slidev or Marp which also allow you to make slides based on Markdown? - Slidev: https://sli.dev/ - Marp: https://marp.app/
Lots of people want to demo things on the terminal, having your slides in the terminal as well makes things seamless.
Also some people just like using terminals for all things.

#15I was curious how the larger fonts worked in Kitty -- here's the reference for the protocol: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/text-sizing-protocol/
Thanks, I was also wondering! I wonder what it would take (politically) to get Konsole to support this (kind of afraid to just file the bug and find out!)
Re: Presenterm: Markdown Slideshows in the Terminal
#16Very cool! I see the comments about Kitty. Any other terminals well supported?

#17I wonder what the first incarnation of single-page markdown files for slides has been. The earliest I know of is `tslide` by Dominic Tarr, first published in 2012: https://github.com/tslide/tslide

VTE based terminals can't support this AFAIK. Kitty draws itself with OpenGL and so supports these things. Iterm2 is also a similar story afaik (and Wezterm and ....)

iterm2 and wezterm are well supported as well!

#20This looks just so so good. Perfect for my usecase (making presentations for our lab meetings)
Gonna try and convert a few of my old ones to presenterm. I'll let you know how it goes.
