Promote, pitch, or present your GitHub projects.

New GitPitch service released that may be of interest to GitHub developers moonlighting as reditters.

https://gitpitch.com

GitPitch is a service that turns PITCHME.md markdown into online, interactive slideshows. It is designed to help GitHub developers promote, pitch or present their GitHub projects.

The idea is simple. If you ever need to present your project ideas to colleagues, clients or customers or at a meetup or conference then GitPitch is for you. Just add PITCHME.md. Further details and samples are available on the GitPitch website and Wiki.

In a nutshell. No more Keynote. No more PowerPoint. Just Markdown. Then git-commit.

Check it out. Hope you like it.

where is the source code for gitpitch ? and can you put it somewhere else than root dir ? (like maybe in .github would be nice, so as not to clutter root dir)

If by source code you mean the PITCHME.md markdown, then your only option is to place the file in the root directory for your repo, alongside your README.md.

No I meant the code you use to get from md to slideshow.

GitPitch is a hosted service and the code that converts your md to a slideshow is part of that service, it's not publicly available. There is nothing for you to download or install. Just add PITCHME.md to your GitHub repo. GitPitch automatically handles the conversion from md to slideshow.

Yeah I get how it works. But it's not because it's a service that you cannot liberate the code! ;)

Looks nice! Is it possible to present the slideshow offline? wary of the demo effects :)

Glad you like it. There is no support for presenting offline at the moment. The only option you would have today is to print your slideshow to PDF, which is a feature available on all GitPitch slideshows.

Okay well that doesn't sound too bad actually. I'll have to test this :)

GitPitch now supports the downloading of slideshow presentations for offline viewing/presentation. This should help alleviate concerns about live demo demons :) See https://github.com/gitpitch/gitpitch/wiki/Slideshow-Offline for details.

Yep, there is known/open rendering issue in the underlying slide lib on FF47/Linux setup. I will patch as soon as fix to the lib is available.
