Hovercraft!

The merge of convenience and cool!

Hovercraft! is a tool to make impress.js_ presentations from reStructuredText. For a quick explanation, see the demo_.

Features

• Write your presentations in a text markup language. No slow, limiting GUI, no annoying HTML!

• Pan, rotate and zoom in 3D, with automatic repositioning of slides!

• A presenter console with notes and slide previews!

• Support for showing mathematical formulas.

• Styling is easy with CSS.

• The slide show generated is in HTML, so you only need a web browser to show it.

• Easy sharing, as it can be put up on a website for anyone to see!

Full documentation is available at readthedocs.org_, and also in the documentation subdirectory.

Installation

Hovercraft requires Python 3 and can be installed like any Python package.

The easiest way is to install pip_, and then run::

Juan Bondi has made videos of how to install:

• Installation on Ubuntu and Debian based computers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHSJLF9OnKQ

• Installation on Windows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I63I8Az24d8

Hovercraft is untested on Windows, but there is no reason it shouldn't work, at least in theory.
