What does HackerNews think of lookatme?

https://github.com/d0c-s4vage/lookatme if you're a command line guy like me, this is my favorite slides presentation system inside the console.

Let's explore the best open source tools to transform markdown files to fully fledged presentations.

- Reveal.js: https://revealjs.com/

- Lookatme: https://github.com/d0c-s4vage/lookatme

- Marp: https://marp.app/

- Slidev: https://sli.dev/

Man - this is my fkn brand.

Plain text is almost a universal truth -- and it's easy to church up your documentation with a well presented ASCII chart.

Some ANSI Color Codes and ASCIInema can carry you a long way.

Here's a list of plain text information tools from my notes:

ascii-tables is exactly what is says on the label.

svgbob and svg-term are both great for creating SVGs out of these plain text files:

Here are some TUI/CLI focused frameworks. These are over kill for me - but maybe useful to someone here:

Thanks for coming to my ted talk!

I like it a lot. However, I'm using mume [1] instead to generate slides via reveal.js because I want to:

- share my slides

- include pictures

The latter kinda works in lookatme [2] too, but only via extensions.

I've been using lookatme[1] for my presentations, which converts Markdown to a slides format, and I absolutely love this project. I found out about it through a few people who presented at an online Neovim talk in this format.
