I've been prepping a talk for JSConf using TiddlySlidy and wanted to pass
some feedback.
Firstly, massive props to Paul Downey (and with contributions from Phil
Hawksworth I presume?) for putting together one of Tiddly*'s holy grails - a
real, working, presentation tool. It's here today and very usable - easy to
make edits and even dead simple to modify the "Master Slides".
I have a few minor suggestions which might help: (This is with the latest
version from SVN, in verticals/TiddlySlidy.)
* For SinglePageMaster, I think it's more natural to set height: 100%
instead of width: 100%. And also to center the image (now that it's not 100%
wide). So I've updated SinglePageMaster like so:
.singleImageSlide .image {
padding: 0;
margin: 0.5em;
height: 310px;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
}
.singleImageSlide .image img {
height:100%;
margin: 20px auto;
}
* I came across a weird bug with keyboard shortcuts, where they were
being active in edit mode. So I'd start typing some slide text and if
I hit an active key, it would make another slide appear. e.g. if I hit
space, the next slide would be inserted above that which I'm editing.
(It remains in edit mode.)
* Another very useful feature would be Duplicate Slide, something I
use all the time in Powerpoint et al.
* When hitting "New Slide", I think the slide should ideally be
inserted after the current slide, instead of appended to the end.
* An "Offline This" feature would be great in the longer term -
needless to say, it would be nice for live presentations to be
resistant against downtime. I guess this is probably something that
could be implemented as a generic TiddlyWiki plugin. It would pull
down all the external images and either save them locally or embed
them as data: URIs, and then update the tiddler text in question.
