Welcome to the slim-slides-on-gae wiki!

YES,

You can build a decent presentation outside of a cubersome, difficult to use, all bells and whistles, no fun, presentation software suite!

slim slides is a simple minimalistic presentation software that focus on content and not on superficial effects!

Plain text format loves you!

No more proprietary format to hold your data!

So it becomes easy to…

• compare presentations
• use textile syntax to format your text
• paste code or integrate other plain format text

About Textile

Textile is a humane web text generator that lets you format your presentations in an easy way. This presentation is formatted with textile.

Here, have a look at the complete syntax

Code!

Copy and paste code directly into your presentation! Slim slides uses the javascript highliting library shjs. Just indicate the highlighter for your code and shjs takes care of it.

class You(object):
  def can_paste(self):
    code = Code()
    code.directly_into('slim slides')
  def feels_good(self):
    print 'and awesome ;-)'

Yes! It looks great!

Give me an example!

Ok, just look at the welcome file under the slides folder. It’s this presentation.

This is too simple, it does not do what I want.

No problem, use something else then!

I want to keep this simple, but I am planning to add:

• themes
• support outside of the appengine
• more awesomeness
