Doitlive, a tool for live presentations in the terminal
I speak at conferences/developer meetups on a regular basis, and this is intriguing.<p>I have two primary concerns:<p>1) When you’re doing a live presentation, making the occasional mistake is not only expected, it helps prove that what you’re doing is really live. With a tool like this, everything might be TOO perfect. Might have to start incorporating intentional flubs into the script to make things authentic.<p>2) I haven’t tried this out yet, but I wonder what happens when something goes wrong. I’ve had too many live situations impacted by some unforeseen thing. Forgot to clean up the working directory last time I ran the demo, or who knows what. I’d want to have the ability to take over the controls if needed.<p>And of course, the antidote to #2 is having very carefully planned repeatable steps with a “cleanup” at the beginning or end to prep for the next time around.<p>All said, very cool, and I’ll be trying this soon.<p>Edit: Downvotes, really?
