[TW5] New Blog plugin and improved TalkyTalky

[Jeremy Ruston]

I’ve been a bit busy over the last few weeks, and not able to spend as much time as I’d like on the group and GitHub. I’ve not been entirely away from TiddlyWiki, however: as part of my dayjob I’ve been working on the Text-slicer plugin (which I’ve already posted about), and just recently I’ve been working on a new plugin for generating static blogs under Node.js, and the beginnings of an improved presentation framework that I used at Wuthering Bytes last week http://wutheringbytes.com.

The presentation framework builds on the existing “Introduction” edition http://tiddlywiki.com/editions/introduction/, and adds features from “TalkyTalky” http://tiddlywiki.com/talkytalky such as coloured backgrounds for each slide. It also includes support for speakers notes. There’s a checkbox to control their visibility. You can also open the current slide plus the notes in a separate window. It changes automatically as you navigate between slides.

You can see both the blog plugin and the presentation framework in use on my new, TW5-based blog:

http://jermolene.com - blog homepage
http://jermolene.com/talkytalky - new presentation
https://github.com/jermolene-blog/blog - source for blog and presentation

As usual, there’s not much documentation, do please feel free to ask any questions,

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy,

Very neat effects when toggling the sidebar. Also perfect idea to add a
window for nodes. Powerpoint and co are more and more outclassed :) TW
is just the perfect candidate for dynamic presentations. I am a big fan
of this project!

Just one question: Where are the arrows to navigate? They used to be in
the top left corner…

Thank you. It worked very well during the talk (hopefully they will post video soon), and I think with a bit more work could be a practical presentation solution for quite non-technical users, too. For some people, with a more text-oriented non-linear approach to their slides, it might work better than Prezi.

Ah, this presentation was more based off the “Introduction” edition, where slide control is by navigating between links, and the “zoomin” story view is used. In the old tiddlywiki.com/talkytalky navigation is via the arrows, and the “classic” story view is used. My intention is to make both techniques available within a single “presentation” plugin/edition.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
