{ "font_size": 120, "font_centered": false, "layout": "no_title" } Jeff Bezos Loves PowerPoint

That Fateful Day

• The Deck From Hell
• Jeff Bans PowerPoint
• What Was That Deck?

---

{ "font_size": 120, "font_centered": false } Can We Blame Him?

I Hate PowerPoint Too

• So I made an alternative.
• Markdown Format
• Hot Reload
• Images, and Shaders.
• Not Much Else

---

Bezos Slide Format

• Just markdown separated by ---
• Each slide can have a json metadata header for config

---

Supported Markdown

• Simple lists with *

• Images with !(file)

  Spaces Newlines or Bare content like this

---

Deck Header

• Right after ---
• Use {} to configure
• "title"
• "description"
• "bg_color": [r,g,b,a]
• "bg_image": "filepath.jpg"

---

{ "bg_color": [55, 20, 10, 255] }

Slide Color

• { "bg_color": [r,g,b,a] }
• Same as deck header
• Put before the content
• It works

---

{ "bg_image": "assets/sample_bg.jpg" }

Slide Background

• { "bg_image": "file_path" }
• You don't even need text

---

{ "shader": "lightning", "bg_color": [100, 30, 40, 255] }

Shaders

• Use "shader": "flame"
• Shaders configured in assets/shaders.json

---

{ "bg_color": [10, 10, 25, 255], "font_color": [255, 146, 0, 255], "title_color": [255, 255, 0, 255], "font_size": 80, "title_size": 120, "font_padding": 20 }

Font Config

• X = "title_" or "font_"
• "X_color": [r,g,b,a]
• "X_size": int
• "X_padding": int

---

{ "font_size": 180, "layout": "no_title" } Flexible Layouts

Images

!(assets/sample_bg.jpg)

• !(assets/sample_bg.jpg)
• Text will go over image
• Image will stretch to fill

---

{ "layout": "image_left", "image_stretch": false, "title_size": 150, "font_size": 50 }

Specific Positions

• 
• Places in image cell in layout. can combine with image_stretch and layout to place it anywhere.

---

Hot Reload

• It watches the file and reloads when it changes

---

Current Status

• Mostly works for me
• Written in C++ using my game UI library
• Quick hack POC
• Might Rewrite in Go for max portability
