DAWS uses some technologies and tools to work:
- ImpressJS - customized to our needs. We added things slide numbers, position of slides in relation to the previous slide (with +/- chars), enable/disable visual effects on request, support for cookies (to keep some preferences between sessions), support for multi-language (with grunt), etc.
- Nodejs
- Grunt
- Bower
- SASS
