Patat – Terminal-based presentations using Pandoc

In plain words

Patat is a terminal-based presentation tool that uses Pandoc to convert markdown files into slideshows displayed in the command line. It's designed for developers and technical presenters who want to create and deliver presentations without leaving their terminal. The tool supports markdown formatting and Pandoc's conversion capabilities, making it useful for those already familiar with these tools and preferring a lightweight, code-friendly alternative to traditional presentation software.

I'm thinking it could be the starting point for a variety of hypertext like applications in the terminal. Very much a work in progress.

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
