big-printer
Prints notes for Big presentations.
Big is great for on-screen and on-projector presentations. For the small screen, when you want to read speakers notes and skim over long presentations, a different kind of view is optimal. big-printer generates that view: on the left side are slides (as PNG files), and the right are speakers notes if any.

Installation
npm install -g big-printer
This is a node.js script that wraps phantomjs. It uses a bundled version of phantomjs, so you don't need to install that separately: you just need node.js, and when you run the command above it'll set up everything.
Usage
big-printer URL OUTPUT
big-printer has two required options
- The URL of the slide deck. This can be a localhost URL, or remote on a server.
- A folder name to output slides in. This folder is created and filled with the HTML page and images.
For example,
big-printer http://www.macwright.org/presentations/jsgeo/ jsgeo-notes
Speakers notes
big-printer integrates with big's speakers notes feature: if you add
a <notes> element inside of a slide, it'll show those notes in the developer
console for the real presentation, and in the right column for the big-printer
output.
