Linkeynote

Turn a list of URLs into a slick presentation. Ideal for showing off a bunch of links without fumbling around with browser tabs. First used at Hacks/Hackers DK.

Setup

  1. Download a copy of this repository

  2. Install Electron

     npm install electron-prebuilt -g

  3. Customise links.txt

  4. Edit the CSS in viewer.html

  5. Run Electron in the current directory:

     electron .

  6. Press right/left on the keyboard to go forward and back.

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!
