#wend

Wend is a minimal presentation tool for Wayland.

In its current most basic usage, it is a text only presentation tool (see Takahashi method), but it aims in the future to be able to "display" any kind of content leveraging standard tools available on the system.

See the example file for an overview of the presentation format. For more information, see the documentation.

The example itself lists the characteristics of wend:

• simple software with few dependencies, but full-featured
• minimal display and usage
• permanent access to content independently of wend
• efficient creation focused on content first

#Status

Currently, wend is fully usable as a Takahashi-like presentation. It has a lot of features: presenter view (terminal) displaying notes and clock, styling of various elements, usage via keyboard and mouse, etc... For the full list, see the documentation.

Ultimately the goal is to have wend be a sort of "presentation runner" able to "display" any kind of content using the available specialized software installed on the system: each step of the presentation will be able to define a command to run. For the full list of planned features, see the open tickets.
