I’ve been using the reveal.js presentation framework for a while now. Whenever I need to give an online presentation—say, in a Zoom meeting—I find it more reliable than PowerPoint or LibreOffice. Setting up presentations is a bit more fiddly, but reveal.js fits with my ongoing effort to work more with plain text and the terminal. It’s not for everyone, but I’m enjoying it.
That got me thinking: could reveal.js be used to create a self-guided worship service, available anytime? I already create services each week and often record content for online use. How much extra work would it take to turn that into a standalone webpage? There was only one way to find out.
So, my first attempt is now live at revrichard.github.io/online-worship. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but I thought it was worth sharing—and I’d really welcome any feedback.
