Impress CouchApp

Markdown + Impress + CouchDB

• Write markdown
• Run import script (import_md.py)
• Push to database
• Impress your friends

Use

Invoke the import script with the location of a markdown file to create slide documents in the $PWD

python import_md.py $MY_MARKDOWN/$MY_TALK

Push the couchapp and the documents to CouchDB using your favourite couchapp client.

Once up you can retrieve the markdown via the following list:

http://localhost:5984/talk/_design/impress-ca/_list/markdown/slides?reduce=false&include_docs=true

Styling and positioning

Each slide has an id the same as the couch document id and can also have a class if the document contains a slide_class. The slides position is set via slide_x and slide_y in the document.
