Way too few presentation tools support code in any meaningful way. Try getting coloured code into Google Slides or PowerPoint is extremely difficult.

Nice to see somebody is actually focusing on this!

Really nice. Why is there no syntax highlighting in the editor tho ? I mean there is color only on the rendered object.

I wish there were the light and dark themes from the google chrome console

Not really the same thing, but scrimba is a great way to share interactive code along your voice/video

How easy (or not) would it be to embed one of these in a markdown file (e.g., README.md)? Seems to me that might be a significantly better way to do code examples for a given repo.

You can embed an iframe on markdown so quite easy actually.

I implemented something like this in Python for my LaTeX/beamer presentation recently. For example, see this and the following slides:

The sample code is in a file with special comments at the end of each line specifying which slide numbers it should be revealed on as well as inline commentary to show to the right of the line. Syntax highlighting is provided by Pygments.

I was thinking about open sourcing it, it's actually only approx 200 lines of Python but I think it's quite effective.

I was just thinking that syntax highlighting plus line colors should be fairly easy to do, and doesn't justify paying for such a service. I would be interested to see your solution if you do decide to open source it, especially as you say it is simple - I like elegance :)

Amazing software, anyone knows an open source layout editor that works like the slides.com onet?
