Rabbit - README

What is Rabbit?

Rabbit is a presentation tool for programmer, especially Rubyist.

You can create presentation slides as a text format. So you can use your favorite editor and version control system for creating presentation slides.

Rabbit has programmer-friendly keybord interface. If you type a key then you will get what you want because Rabbit uses Emacs/Vi like key bindings by default.

You can just use Rabbit as a slide viewer because Rabbit can also show PDF format slide. You can create by Keynote or what you like and use Rabbit as a slide viewer for programmer-friendly keybord interface.

You can customize slide look and feed by Ruby. It's very important for Rubyist that you can program when you make presentation slides.

Format

Rabbit supports RD and Wiki notation for text format.

RD is an abbreviation of Ruby Document. It's easy to read text format.

Rabbit supports a Hiki notation that is a dialect of Wiki notations.

Interface

Rabbit has useful slide operation interface.

• Keybord interface: If you type a key then you will get what you want.
• Mouse gesture: Just for a fun. It'll not be used while presentation but it's fun while creating.
• Here and tortoise: Visualize remaining time.
