FAQ

How do I edit slides?

Slides are defined by links.txt.

• Lines with links (with http prefix) are turned into webviews
• Lines with text become standard text-based slides
• Blank lines are ignored

Why use Electron?

Webviews in Electron don't have CORS problems like proper iframes. Also, having it as a separate app stops your presentation from getting mixed up with other browser windows in the heat of a presentation.

Contributing

Linkeynote is very small and (so far) short on features. And the code is a bit dubious in places. If you happen to use it yourself and make some improvements, please consider submitting them as a pull request. Thank you!
