+## Lightning talk
+
+<p data-unfold-hidden>
+I recently presented a lightning talk about the IndieWeb and personal websites to my colleagues at the office. Even though I don't normally enjoy presenting, speaking about things I'm passionate about always turns out to be rather easy. The talk and the presentation that I used to support the talk were well received.

+## Tinkering
+
+<p data-unfold-hidden>
+Later, when I shared my PowerPoint slides in the IndieWeb chat, I was asked if I had considered using HTML slides instead of pptx. The thought had crossed my mind, but I didn’t have time to put the thought into practice before my talk. It was a curious idea though.

+<p data-unfold-hidden>
+So curious in fact, that I decided to study up on the ”HTML slideshow landscape”: what kind of tools there are, how do they work on a static site, things like that. Turns out that a tool called `reveal.js` is very popular and often recommended. An idea entered my mind: what if I could turn an HTML note (like this one that you’re reading) into an HTML slideshow, in a somewhat automated fashion?

+- A portmanteau of _literate program_ and _slideshow_
+- Convert a semantically marked up post to a slideshow with a click
+- This post is a literate slideshow

+## Direction

+I don't know if I'll even need this project. Maybe I'll use it in some posts in the future?
