Pik7

HTML5 presentation framework. I deal with metric tons of complex slide sets every day. I need them in the browser, i need them to be fast and scriptable and I need to have speaker notes and a presenter mode. I created Pik7 to solve my own problems with existing solutions. If you're not me, you'll probably don't want to use it.

Features

  • 100% HTML5, CSS and JavaScript (jQuery)
  • Programmable slides, easy to embed content from the web
  • Good performance in modern browsers even with hundreds of slides
  • Works in every modern browser (everything not IE 8 or older)
  • As fancy or a simple as you want it to be
  • Multiple synchronized presentation views and a presenter mode
  • Reasonably printable (useful for PDF export)
  • Rapid navigation between slide sets

Drawbacks

  • Requires a modern browser and a web server to run from (a simple server is included, but requires Node.js to work)
  • No fancyful animations by default
  • Shares all drawbacks common to HTML slides (no GUI to create presentations, no PDF export, images hard to use)

Install

The easy way: download from pik.peterkroener.de and unzip into a directory on your web server.

The hard way:

  1. Clone repository into a directory on your web server: git clone git://github.com/SirPepe/Pik7.git
  2. Install dependencies: npm install and sudo npm install -g bower && bower install
  3. Build: grunt

Use

If you want to use the included web server: node server.js. Then:

  1. Copy the html file in /presentations/Template to /presentations/yourslidestitle. Edit/add slides (<div class="pikSlide">).
  2. Open the presentation framework (index.html) in a recent version of your favorite browser
  3. Use the "browse" link or the menu on the lower right to load your presentation
  4. Use the menu on the lower right to open the presenter view or point your browser to presenter.html
  5. Navigate slides using the arrow keys or tap near the edges of the screen. Hide the presentation using the F5 or ESC key
