Using Gradle continuous builds to write presentations :)

Hey peeps!

This is a pretty simple function, but I wanted to share a cool use of continuous builds: Writing presentations. I was having trouble getting fswatch working on my machine, and found the gradle api pretty easy to set up, only ~four lines:

I just wrote a blog post about the topic of presentations based on web technologies:

Very cool. I haven’t looked at Jade at all, I’ll have to check it out. I have however used reveal.js in conjunction with asciidoctor for a presentation. Continuous mode is particularly well suited for this type of iterative work. Glad to hear you are finding it helpful.

@jakeouellette thanks for sharing!
