Hi Bodil,

I attended your YOW Melbourne Talk on generators and was impressed with the presentation & the presentation tool you used, which I discovered is "pink". I've tried installing pink locally, and then globally (as per the README), and I cannot get to the point were pressing F4 full-screens the presentation. It is as though the script code is not loading.

My setup:

  • OSX 10.10
  • Using latest Chrome browser
  • Webstorm IDE for text editing
  • Node 5.x and NPM 3.x (about 1 month old)

Things I tried:

  • Run pink init seems to work: generates index.html, scripts.js as expected. However, index.html has a reference to dist/pink/<can't remember>.js, which does not exist until you have run pink build
  • Run pink run creates a Webpack dev server, which detects changes, but the browser contains an entirely blank screen. I can see through Chrome Dev Tools that "OMG Slides" is there, but there is a visibility: hidden style on the body which remains. It feels like a JavaScript file hasn't loaded, but there are no console or network errors (apart from a missing favicon - not important).
  • Run pink build creates the dist folder, but then re-running pink run does not load the content from the dist folder.
  • Run serve -p 1337 to create a local server, I can finally see the browser attempt to load the dist/pink.js file referred to in index.html, but then there is an ES6-code error (the JS file doesn't contain "use strict"), so Chrome throws an error.

So while I would have loved to use this tool for a presentation, the documentation in the README does not list ALL of the steps/pre-requisites needed to get this up and running, which is a real shame.

Cheers,
Brett
