slideman - a manager for reveal.js slides, written in Rust

How does it work?

First of all create a Markdown file with the content of your presentation, assign a name that identifies it and save it in /static/slides.

You can use reveal.js themes or create your own and put it in /static/css/theme.

Finally, you need to add the following information in /static/slides.json, which is the file that contains the list of your presentations.

• id - A number to assign and identify each of your presentations
• file - The name of the Markdown file
• title - The title of your presentation
• description - A short description of your presentations' content
• style - The name of the theme file

Example

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "file": "rust-and-perl-love.md",
    "title": "Rust and Perl - You got to love them!,
    "description": "A lovestory about Rust and Perl",
    "style": "league.css"
  }
]

Usage

If you freshly cloned the repo, you have to execute

cargo build

before starting slideman.

Important!: You need the nightly builds of Rust!

If you're using rustup, just execute the following commands:

rustup install nightly
rustup default nightly

After a successful build, you can call Cargo to run slideman or execute the binary directly:

cargo run

or

./target/debug/slideman
