Show HN: Presentations for your webcam, not a projector

I would love to see a FOSS version based on OBS. I am not a streamer and I don't need half of OBS' feature. Like OBS but ELI5 mode

Hmmm. That's an interesting idea, especially since OBS has a built-in "transparent" browser that I use to do lower thirds. Getting it to render sequences/chunks of Markdown doesn't seem too far-fetched at all.

OBS already has a virtual webcam mode, fyi

Yep, and you can prepare a list of scenes that more or less replicates the "script" feature here (though you can't save the "list of scenes" separately).

I have a YouTube video from a couple of years ago where I show how to do this sort of thing in OBS. So yeah, it's possible!

Spend some time setting up OBS and then control it via an Elgato Stream Deck. Really nice way to do pre-scripted things via easy buttons.
