Hi Chris, thanks for chiming in and your offer!
The setup you describe sounds pretty much exactly what we envisioned when we started looking at infrastructure around trainings - back then I think it just sort of died down for a mixture of reasons like too much effort for just the few trainings we had and a lack of "the perfect technology". I remember looking at reveal.js also couldn't tell you why we discarded it back then to be honest, but I suspect it may well have been due to lack of understanding. Regarding the "plugin architecture" we ended up with something that sounds very similar, we have a few plugins that generate images out of things like websequencediagram or draw.io code and then a macro that updates images in the Powerpoint slides to the generated version, so to me these two things sound very aligned. So in short, we'd of course immensely appreciate a donation of your work!
