The React community has started to make some tools that use the "MDX" format [0], which combines Markdown and JSX syntax together. The MDX-Deck [1] and Spectacle [2] tools both allow using MDX to create presentations. Last week I wrangled together a repo that adds Spectacle with MDX support to a Create-React-App project, as a reusable starting point [3]. Worked out nicely for a talk I gave this week.

i love how topics like these not only bring out a review of the tool in question, but also suggest other related tools for comparison. for convenience, here is a list of all alternatives mentioned (in no particular order): (i added a quick but incomplete review of key aspects of each tool. almost all are using markdown and support pdf export) https://arnehilmann.github.io/markdeck/ (reveal.js docker) https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#producing-slide-shows-with-pa...

I'm definitely going to look into that one. As a blind user who needs to do presentations sometimes, I hate wysiwyg and I always use text-based tools. My favorite is Spectacle [1], as it apparently looks pretty good and I can upload presentations to now with a nice, simple, memorable URL. It's amazing when you can just open up a browser, point it to an URL you remember and the presentation just opens. [1] https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle

Formidable Labs also has a similar project written in React: https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle

Spectacle is pretty nice. Supports 3rd party extensions. Supports markdown. Split presenter and presentation views. Themes. https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle

Hi all, For technical presentations, what presentation framework do you recommend? I've been experimenting with the React based Spectacle [1] and vanilla JS Reveal.js [2], both pretty useful for presenting code and embedding stuff like video's and iframes. However, it has been a while since my last presentation and I'm curious if you would recommend either of these options or something completely different.

Hi HN! Cool to see this posted here. I made this in college because I would always make slides last minute before class presentations or talks at my school's CS club, and fiddling with google slides/powerpoint seemed like overkill. I hope you find it useful as I have over the years. I've attempted to rewrite it 5 or 6 times based on whatever cool technology I was distracted with, but never merged anything upstream (Spectacle https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle is already a wonderful React solution). A couple other folks maintain cleaver now (they're great), but lemme know if you have any questions!

FormidableLabs (https://github.com/FormidableLabs) is doing some very good work in the React ecosystem. Here are projects that I'm particularly excited about: 1. Spectacle (https://github.com/FormidableLabs/spectacle), Presentation Library 2. Victory (https://github.com/FormidableLabs/victory), Graphing Library 3. Radium (https://github.com/FormidableLabs/radium), Component Styling
