Impressionist
Impressionist is a prototype and concept to build a visual (wysiwyg) editor for creating impress.js presentations. The idea is to use Electron to make the browser based impress.js presentation into a proper desktop app that can open and save files. TinyMCE is integrated to provide the editing capability.
Current status is that you can open a presentations (such as the ones under templates/) then move, add or remove slides and edit their contents with TinyMCE. You can't really modify the style of slides, or have different kinds of slides. For that you'd still have to edit raw CSS and HTML.
Demo
HOWTO
Pre-requisites: git, node 6.5+ and npm
git clone --recursive https://github.com/henrikingo/impressionist.git
cd impressionist
npm install
npm start
Mailing list
Repository organization
Electron main process
main.js
src/main/*
Browser process / Electron renderer process
src/impressionist.*
src/lib/*.js
src/plugins/*
...where lib
functions are common utility functions and called synchronously. plugins
are
features, implemented as anonymous closures, and use the event based communication
mechanism familiar from impress.js.
Use npm build
or just node build.js
to build the above into js/impressionist.js
and
css/impressionist.css
.
