# Besos Loves Slides
|
|
|
|
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_! Who knew it has the 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.
