ClojureScript Tiny Slides is grug-brained presentation software.

  • Write your slides in Reagent Hiccup.
  • Static web app you can upload to any web host.
  • Tiny hackable codebase.
  • No setup or config, just clone the repo to start.

It's built with Scittle so it is developed and runs 100% in the browser.

Source code: https://github.com/chr15m/clojurescript-tiny-slides

I made a video about it.

Origin story

Recently I was at Barcamp London and I decided to give an impromptu talk. I had most of a talk written already, but no slides. For the Nth time I evaluated the available presentation software and I couldn't find any which fit my admittedly strange set of preferences. So I did what any sane developer would do and built my own presentation software in the 15 minutes available. 😅 This was only possible because of the amazing tooling available in the Clojure ecosystem.

By the way, Barcamp London is a fantastic unconference and definitely worth checking out!
