Traveling is always my most productive time for random thoughts and coding exercises. Doesn’t always mean clean code in fact it basically never does, but I always have a list of topics I’d like to explore and then when on a plane I finally have time to do that. This time I tackled a few topics:
- SQLite-net
- Reveal.js
- Browser extensions (webpack, TypeScript)
Reveal.js
For work, I create presentations using PowerPoint quite a bit. It’s intuitive to use and makes it very easy to slap a presentation together, but it does have some limits.
Some goals:
- Have a presentation that runs standalone. Do NOT want it running in a browser.
Standalone
To solve this problem, there turns out to be a good solution: Electron. Alternative is NW.js

SQLite
As with a lot of tech exploration the big problem is too much information. Finally found a decent tutorial that made this straightforward.
Browser Extensions
This was really tricky mostly.
