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:

$ pip3 install hovercraft

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