What the Community Says

Hi, I’m the creator of Bento. Just wanted to share a bit more about how I created it beyond what’s in Github. The file contains more or less two sections. There is a plain block of JSON near the top of the file which is the slide data. You can read, grep, or point a harness at it.

The community is abuzz with excitement over Bento’s potential to disrupt the presentation software landscape.

What an ambitious and impressive project! I’m going to try it. One note: The home page says ‘Nothing phones home,’ but the Bento files I’ve examined include a cloudflareinsights.com beacon.

Some users have raised concerns about data privacy, but overall, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

Technical Details

Bento’s creator started with reveal.js and incorporated GSAP/Flip for animation, as well as echarts for charting, before re-implementing both due to size and functionality issues.
