5. Displays speaker notes for the current slide.
6. Controls available:
   1. next slide
   2. previous slide
   3. toggle pause mode
   4. toggle overview mode

8. Light and dark theme included. Sometimes you just don't want to make your listeners blind.

Usage

The installation process includes two simple steps:

1. Clone this repo and deploy anywhere. Don't forget to npm run build&& npm run start it (hint: now will do it automatically).
2. Connect your presentation to the control panel. There are two ways to do that:
   1. Visit remeal deployment and drag the huge Remeal link to the bookmarks panel. Then open your presentation and press the bookmarklet. The presentation will be connected to the control panel automatically. This method is preferable. Obviously.
   2. OR, if you feel adventurous, build remeal locally (npm run build), copy plugin/remeal.js to your presentation and add it as a dependency:

      Reveal.initialize({
        ...otherConfigOptions,
        dependencies: [
          ...otherDependencies,
          { src: REMEAL_PLUGIN_URL_GOES_HERE, async: true, callback: () => initRemeal() }
        ]
      })

      Then open your presentation and press r to connect to the remote control panel.
3. Tapping on the gear in the header opens the configuration panel, where you can:
   1. Switch theme
   2. Rearrange or disable control panel blocks
   3. Turn vibrations on and off
   4. Enable and disable the pointer feature.
