Slye is a desktop application which helps users to create 3D presentations.

There is a web demo available if you want to try it first. (Not all of the functionalities are implemented in the demo.)
There are 3 main units in this project, core, frontend and electron.
Although we are using electron, we are not using node integration in our frontend for security purposes and also we hope that one day we might be able to use the exact code to target for web browser.
This directory contains all the abstractions and the internal API to deal with a Slye presentation and modules.
User interface built using React, we are using Electron's IPC to communicate
between frontend and the electron land (A.K.A server) at the moment.
Codes for the main process.
First build the app:
npx gulp
# To build for linux
npx gulp release:linux64
# To build for windows
npx gulp release:win32

Once you've cloned the repository locally you can start hacking.
git clone https://github.com/qti3e/Slye.git
cd Slye
# Install dependncies.
yarn
# Build preload and main process.
npx gulp
# Start the dev server. (Make sure port 1234 is free.)
yarn dev
Sometimes parcel does not terminates and you have to kill it yourself:
kill $(ps aux | grep '[p]arcel' | awk '{print $2}')
