+# Besos Loves Slides
 
-A simple PDF presentation viewer.
+There's an amazing story about Amazon.  One day Jeff Besos saw a PowerPoint presentation so heinous,
+so evil, so boring, that he full on _banned_ PowerPoint presentations at Amazon. Immediately after
+this presentation he emailed the entire company declaring all PowerPoint presentations dead.
+
+Can you imagine being the guy who gave this fateful presentation? I personally would be proud. I'd
+take that .ppt on the road and show everyone the power of _POWER POINT_! It's ability to destroy the
+will of even the wealthiest of individuals with its unmitigated and complete boredom.
+
+This project is a celebration of that one PPT presentation. That .ppt that sent Jeff into a tailspin
+of madness.  It seeks to bring Jeff Besos painful memories of that one fateful day when he crashed
+out over some slides in a boardroom.
+
+## Status
+
+This is mostly a simple presentation tool for my videos in my courses.  I decided to take some of
+the knowledge from my Game Development adventures and use those to make something better than
+PowerPoint for my use cases.  I mostly need to show text and some videos for a short amount of time
+on a randomly attached monitor while also looking at a status screen on another one.
+
+Currently you can run `besos.exe` (it might work on other platforms, let me know) and give it a
+`.md` file formatted to have slides.  See `samples/01-a-good-first-program.md` which is a quick
+example from one of my courses.  I'll have more docs on this in the future but so far:
+
+1. Metadata at the top is json.
+2. Slides start with `===`.
+3. Each slide is separated with `---`.
+4. Each slide can also have json metadata. You can currently set the background color with `{"bg_color": [255, 0, 0, 255]}` but it's jank right now so put the `{` and `}` on different lines.
+4. First line of slide is title.
+5. Everything after is content.
+6. No actual markdown is being done currently.
+
+## Future Plans
+
+1. Control window will show the current and next slide, speaker notes, and other information.
+2. Buttons to control things.
+3. Ability to trigger sounds.
+4. Ability to style the presentation with metadata, so for different fonts and sizes.
+5. Ability to pick different layouts and to create your own layouts right in the presentation.
