Quite hacky at this point, though the script was successfully used to export few presentations I had.
Approach: uses puppeteer to open a URL and press Space, while taking
screenshots. We assume that at each transition the URL changes. Once it
stops changing, we assume there are no more slides.
Plenty of problems:
requires node;
assumes that the URL is visible without authentication and from the environment we are running the script from (there can be proxies, etc.);
no error handling – not sure what will happen if something breaks;
the assumption that the URL will change quickly enough is weak, I can see how it either finish too early or lead to an infinite loop. Knowing the number of slides in advance will be better;
assumes we have less than 1000 slides, so that we can take care of padding in file names. Seems the safest assumption compared to the ones above :) Can be lifted if we know the number of slides in advance;
Used local prettier rules, didn't setup the WordPress rules for now;
Resolution is hard-coded at Full HD – 1920:1080. Quite typical projector resolution these days.
I am posting more to start discussion and as a starting point than an attempt to merge it. Also curious how did you handle exporting State of the Word presentation.
