This is a ridiculous presentation system that works great for creative, hurried people. See the demo for an example of it working.
It makes text and images as big as they can be, gives you minimal
styling (em
), and gives you left/right arrows for navigation.
You can skip every step by doing
wget https://raw.github.com/tmcw/big/gh-pages/big.quickstart.html
This is a bundle of all JS, CSS, and HTML code - which means that it's a bit harder to update, but there are no external dependencies here, so no conference-wifi-pwn.

- bigclicker is a remote control for big
- bigpy lets you use Markdown with big by implementing it as a pre-processing step in Python
- big-themes (website) is a fledgling new repository for big themes. Try one, make one, take one home today.
- Big is awesomer because lambda, mikeal, and BraulioVM contributed to it! And you can too: it's Public Domain, CC0.
- mdznr has a really cool fork with its own demo
Big is totally HTML5! It uses the HTML5 doctype: <!DOCTYPE html>
!
It's therefore imbued with standardslicious hypeclouds.
The source looks like:
<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title></title><link href='big.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /><script src='big.js'></script></head><body>
<div>Big</div>
<div><em>Presentation software</em> for busy busy hackers</div>
<div>text</div>
<div>as <em>big</em> as it can be</div>
<div>no config</div>
<div><em>1.5k</em></div>
<div><em>images too</em></div>
<div><img src='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2506/5757000880_509440308e_z.jpg' /></div>
<div>JS+CSS <a href='https://github.com/tmcw/big'>github.com/ tmcw/ big</a></div>
- If you put an image as the first thing in a slide, it'll become a tiled background. I abused this power in my presentation on project it yourself
