marmota.app Design Goals

In today's post, I want to explain the design goals of marmota.app and how they shape creating presentations with marmota.app.

In 2020, I prepared teaching a workshop about TDD of iOS apps in Swift together with Rene Pirringer and Jon Reid. Rene used a tool to generate slides from a simple Markdown file that was Mac-Only. My first reaction was: I want something like that, but for Windows.

I quickly implemented a small prototype, and in the process, I realized that I wanted my tool to be somewhat different to what I saw. As I worked on it longer, I got a clearer picture of what I wanted the application to do.

My current design goals are:

Those goals might shift in the future, and new goals might appear. Maybe I will write more about some of them later.
