Swinger is a couchapp for creating and showing Presentations. Think Keynote, stored in CouchDB, run via Javascript and Sammy.js.
This was created as a Demo for my talk at jQuery Conf 2009 about Sammy.js, however, its usefulness might outlast my talk. We'll see.
- A running CouchDB server
- CouchApp - You need the latest and greatest couchapp for the push to work without errors. Follow these instructions to install from source
All you need to do to get up and running after the requirements are installed is:
$ couchapp push . https://localhost:5984/swinger
It should print out instructions of where you can view it.
You can also set up a .couchapprc file that looks something like this:
{
"env": {
"default": {
"db": "https://admin:password@localhost:5984/swinger"
}
}
}
Once that is set up you can just do:
$ couchapp push
Swinger was greatly inspired by Pat Nakajima's Slidedown.
- Sammy.js for frontend controller/routing
- CouchApp for hosting the app in CouchDB
- Aristo CSS for base buttons/styles
- Showdown for Markdown
- SHJS for Code higlighting
