The article is leaking from all sides. As a wannabe hacker would find a hole in a public repo, what can the repo owner do, who knows every detail of the project and has a high interest in it, also economically?
Re:Should Managers Still Code? on Wednesday March 05, 2025 @01:38AM (#43263570)
Should managers still code... or... should managers know how to code? They are very different questions. The former answer is probably no. The latter is much more interesting, IMHO.

That's great! It would be even more great to have a value on comments controversy level, sentiment, pos/neg, etc.
Re:Show HN: JavaScript presentation lib for the automation era on Saturday November 13, 2021 @02:21AM (#29208071)
Hi HN,

a year ago I’ve released the early beta version of Presenta Lib. After many iterations, here the version 1.0 with a focus on playing nice with the automation era.

https://www.presenta.cc/lib/

Feedback welcome!

Hi there,

I made a little project using the public Github API and other stuff I’m working on.

Put your GitHub username to get a graphic card and discover how long you're on Github!

Let me know what you think!

Have fun: https://presenta-styles-plugin.netlify.app/

Re:Show HN: Presenta Play v3, slides in Markdown/text/JS/YAML on Saturday January 09, 2021 @04:10AM (#25698818)
Hello HN,

I’ve released the third iteration of the editor built on top of PRESENTA Lib, my open-source javascript library to create web presentations.

As in previous iterations, the feedback from you were really helpful.

I’d love to get some more!

Cheers!

Sure? Where's the reference?
Yeah, without style it might have this issue.

I've added a couple of props in the script, you can set the same values present in the dropdown menu in Play tool. Fullscreen can be activating by pressing 'f' on a specific presentation. Btw I might add a more explicit UI, though.

Out of curiosity, does MkDoc parse correctly the whole content without actually parsing the chunk for Presenta?

I don't know MKDocs but as far as I can see in the link you posted, it should be straightforward doing the same of the other libraries.

I got curious, thus, I make a proof.

Embedding a hosted presentation, it's just a matter of using an iframe: https://codepen.io/abusedmedia/pen/zYKBOXb

An here a test to avoid external hosting: https://codepen.io/abusedmedia/pen/YzGWPzY

The last one requires to download the libraries locally following the same example of flochart.js in MKDocsPlus.

It would be nice if you can test it out.

It looks like you’ve constructed your whole argument against something I didn’t write, that is, I’m against PPT, and I’m not!

I agree with every principles in your argument, but even in this case, this tool can beat PPT in SOME cases.

I need to create 2/3 decks per week for my students, decks with some words, images, links, code, video, interactive object, etc that I present to them and after that they use as handouts. I’ve tested many tools for this stuff (PPT included), thus, I know precisely the different pro’s and con’s.

Btw, to me “words” and “short sentense” are very different things than “long-form text” and “dense information”, sorry if that wasn’t clear, my fault.

Figma is much more a PPT/Keynote alternative but you cannot use dynamic media in it.
you can already use fetch, not with async/await, though.
There are many different situations/users where decks can be used and the one you describe is just one of them.

If you present few times a year in important events, sure, you'd better using a tool that allows pushing every single pixels because it makes sense for your situation and you have time/skills for.

But if you need to produce (many) documents for reports/lessons/references maybe you'd prefer something that automate a bit more and because you're not interested spending time to invent graphics design.

Also, what you say about images vs text, again, you're right when you're making a show. If you present information that needs to be understood very well, I can assure you that words and (short) sentences displayed when you're speaking, can help a tons.

Adding any web-compatible media (i.e. flowchart.js) in PRESENTA Lib is just a matter of wrapping it into a plugin [1].

Then, I need to figure out how to allow end-users to include external plugins in Play tool.

Right now the dev-doc to create plugin is not ready yet, hopefully to release very soon.

Also, the tool can run in offline and use local assets as well.
