Description
Hi Bodil,
I attended your YOW Melbourne Talk on generators and was impressed with the presentation & the presentation tool you used, which I discovered is "pink". I've tried installing pink locally, and then globally (as per the README), and I cannot get to the point were pressing F4 full-screens the presentation. It is as though the script code is not loading.
My setup:
- OSX 10.10
- Using latest Chrome browser
- Webstorm IDE for text editing
- Node 5.x and NPM 3.x (about 1 month old)
Things I tried:
- Run `pink init` seems to work: generates index.html, scripts.js as expected. However, index.html has a reference to `dist/pink/.js`, which does not exist until you have run `pink build`
- Run `pink run` creates a Webpack dev server, which detects changes, but the browser contains an entirely blank screen. I can see through Chrome Dev Tools that "OMG Slides" is there, but there is a `visibility: hidden` style on the body which remains. It feels like a JavaScript file hasn't loaded, but there are no console or network errors (apart from a missing favicon - not important).
- Run `pink build` creates the `dist` folder, but then re-running `pink run` does not load the content from the `dist` folder.
- Run `serve -p 1337` to create a local server, I can finally see the browser attempt to load the `dist/pink.js` file referred to in index.html, but then there is an ES6-code error (the JS file doesn't contain "use strict"), so Chrome throws an error.
So while I would have loved to use this tool for a presentation, the documentation in the README does not list ALL of the steps/pre-requisites needed to get this up and running, which is a real shame.
Cheers,
Brett

Research direction
Start with the README instructions for `pink init`, `pink run`, `pink build`, and serving the generated files. Reproduce the reported blank page and ES6 loading failure using the setup details in the issue, then document the required prerequisites and complete steps for reaching a working presentation.
