-
To create your own installation file
npm run packagefor macsnpm run package-winfor windowsnpm run package-linuxfor linux
- The two buttons on the top right allow you to add a slide and go into presentation mode.
- To add content to a slide, use the three buttons above the main slide container. Currently text, image, and code content can be added to slide decks.
- Once content is added, it can be moved and resized by dragging.
- When a component is active, options will appear on the right sidebar.
- If no component is selected, options for the current slide will appear, including the ability to reorder and delete the current slide [KNOWN ISSUE].
- Save or open your devdeck files through the menu bar or by pressing ⌘+S or ⌘+O, respectively.
- Once components are added to the slide, user cannot access current slide options unless user clicks on that slide on the mini-slides thumbnail.
- Undo/redo causes issues with current slide number being out of sync with state when adding/deleting or switching slides (current fix is to restart app) - app still works
- It takes more ‘undo’ action calls than should be necessary to undo an action. This is because the undo function is listening to more than just the actions that render a visible difference on the document
