A bonus feature allows presentation authors to customize the table-of-contents for any presentation. TOC customization is simple, and described in detail on the GitPitch Wiki here.

New in 2.0: GitPitch Notifications Bar

The addition of a new notifications bar in the footer of every presentation now adds timely slide-specific context in a number of ways.

1. Help Notifications

On the first slide of every presentation, GitPitch displays keyboard-shortcuts and related links. These quick reminders help everyone to get the most out of their GitPitch experience.

2. Footnote Notifications

Support for custom footnotes within presentations has been available for quite some time. They can display copyright notifications or links related to content, products, services, etc.

In version 2.0, GitPitch now displays front-and-center in the notifications bar.

Without custom footnotes, GitPitch displays helpful context to your presentation audience, for example:

3. Code-Presenting Notifications

One of my favorite additions to the new notifications bar is the tie-in with GitPitch code-presenting.

When code-presenting, you can step through any number of blocks, functions, or entire source flow-controls. Code-presenting notifications now give everyone a clear sense of progress within each code slide:

The Path To 2.0: Some Personal Highlights

During the past year I’ve launched many new GitPitch features and used the GitPitch blog to introduce some of those features to the community. Here’s a quick listing of some popular posts:

When GitPitch 1.0 first launched it supported anyone with an account on GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket. Since then, I’ve continued to add support for other great open source Git solutions, including GitBucket, Gitea, and Gogs.

I’m open to extending GitPitch’s reach even further, so get in touch if you know of any interesting Git providers that might enjoy the power of PITCHME.md.

Seeing the GitPitch community embracing the service was definitely one of the highlights of the past year. You created and shared some amazing presentations.

To celebrate some of these presentations and their authors, I dedicated an ongoing series of blog posts which you can find here:
