People & places

Presentation/workshop

• Share easily
• Collaborative
• Easy to create own version

Possible platform

• HedgeDoc is collaborative platform for editing plain text Markdown
• It has slides functionality using reveal.js
• It can be hosted on PikaPods for $1.50 a month
• I’m assuming the themes can be edited on self-hosted version
• Can host images for slides on PixelUnion - Open Source with free tier up to 16Gb.
• If you resize images to 1600 pixels wide, this is about 250Kb per file, which is enough room for 80,000 images. Which is enough.
• PixelUnion is just a photo gallery, not an asset library, so can’t link to files ☹️
• Possibly use Seafile on PikaPods to host image files?
