New Release of Tiddlyshow App

A new release of Tiddlyshow using the keyboard shortcuts features of TW 5.1.19 is announced.

This is a small application of Tiddlywiki for presentation and slideshow. It can also be used as a plugin, but the aim is to be an app.

Main changes

• Shortcut key biding (based on new shortcut keys in TW 5.1.19)
• Slideshow manager
• Slide manager
• Support Themes
• Auto numbering slides
• Sorting slides by drag and drop in slide manager

A more advanced release is planned for mid March 2019.

Tiddlyshow is a new application from Tiddlywiki. I call it an app or application not an edition not a plugin.

It is used for presentation and slideshow. It is objective is to be a simple yet powerful presenter based on html5 and wiki

http://tiddlyshow.tiddlyspot.com/

[To start the slideshow click on the small button on top-left corner]

This is based on the work of many developer and helpfull comments and answer to question in this forum.

Part of codes is borrowed from the great work by Mat, Birth, BTC, Tobias, Jed, Jeremy, Thomas, Tony, Eric, David,  ...

(Sorry if I forgot a name ...)

I appreciate to have a look and let me your opinion, your comments. I will later upload this to Github in the hope

people find it useful and advanced users and developers from this forum contribute to improve it or fork and make better app.

I hope I can add the following features when I had enough time

 - themes (styles, colors, fonts)

 - effects

 - shortcut keys

 - export to pdf

I try to have tiddlyshow as an app for final users.

Note: In this application some codes or plugin has been directly or indirectly used! I tried to appreciate them. I did not see a licence policy for them.

By the way let me know if there is a violation!

Best regards

Mohammad

Hi Mohammad

Hello David,

 There is one interesting slideshow application based on classic TW 2.6 I think at

http://tiddlyslidy.com

 Please also this to your list. It seems their developer were part of TW team at Osmosoft. I could not go into details but I think this is the most complete TW application for slide show

It supports shortcutkeys, note and theme.

I hope developer Paul Downey could take a look and possibly import it to TW5.

Cheers

Mohammad

TiddlyWiki toolmap isn't for classic, only for TiddlyWiki. Thanks, though.

A new version of Tiddlyshow application is  available!

http://tiddlyshow.tiddlyspot.com/

A small HowTo has been added to help new users!

This version has the keybinding for using shortcut keys during slideshow.

Many thanks to Simon (BurningTreeC) for his kind help and the great KeeBoord plugin.

Still there are some adjustments remained, I will implement in the next version. These are like having shortcuts working only in presentation mode and

slide masters for different types. I also will adopt a subset of bootstrap CSS framework for visual elements like boxes, badges, ...

Cheers

Mohammad,

Thanks so much for your contribution, this looks "shmick:, really nice, and beautifully self documented. I can see some improvements, not so much in the result, you have that, but in the workflow to build content and to display it. Perhaps if you want to change it into an application? (What do you mean?).

I will not list these additional methods until you ask, this is your time in the sun, 

Good Work.

Tony

Hi Tony,

 If you noticed there are some great plugins, codes, ... for TW but most of them are not suitable for final user and their usage needs a level of knowledge in Tiddlywiki core.

By application, I mean a version of Tiddlywiki targeted a specific area of usage in this case presentation, lecturing, slideshow.

I want to introduce it to students and lecturers and it should be enough easy to adopt for presentation and comparable to PowerPoint or  Beamer, ...

So, I will try to put the required capabilities into it NOT MORE, these are

• Clean interface
• Visual elements as macro or master templates for different type of slides
• Themes
• Short learning curve
• Documentation (quick tutorial, and help for a more advanced users)

Of course this is not a short term roadmap. I will improve it constantly at my spare time and will try to keep it alive.

One more point, I am not a good programmer in TW and I am sure there are people in this group can create much better apps

in much shorter time. 

Best

Mohammad

Mohammad,

I support your endevor and would suggest nothing else. I have some ideas that will make use simpler and not need as much background knowledge of Tiddly-wiki. 

I think you must not underestimate the value of being a user/Developer who can define clearly what they need and execute it in time. It is your ignorance of the methods and code that help you see it from the user perspective. 

Goodwork

Tony

[Mohammad]

Many thanks Tony!

Only looking at it from a user standpoint, it has a lot of promise. Thanks for your efforts on this. Two suggestions:

1) find a way to force the height of the slides within the screen height. It is not fun for the user to have to scroll down to get to the forward arrow.

2) The forward and backward arrows need to be more visible, i.e., contrast with the background more. It is currently white on white, so too hard to spot quickly.

David!

Thank you for your comments.

Sure, I will check this and improve. 

• I assumed the presentation mode is used, when you press F11 and you are in fullscreen view. Seems when this not the case you have to scroll down
  
• I think it is better when click on presentation mode button, it automatically switches to fullscreen mode
  
• One point, when slide is too long, the vertical scroll bar is shown inside slide!!, this is done intentionally to notify the user of long slide
• I will increase the contrast, right now forward button should looks paleblue and backward button palered.
• Also, the shortcut keys shall be turned off in author and edit mode!

I will do these in the next minor version within few next days.

Cheers

Mohammad
