| # Riprap pitch deck |
|
|
| Marp-rendered slides for the AMD x lablab.ai hackathon submission |
| video (May 4 to 10, 2026). Eight slides, around 30 s of voiceover |
| each, sized to leave three or more minutes for the live demo inside |
| the five-minute video cap. |
|
|
| ## Files |
|
|
| - `deck.md`. Slide source (Marp markdown). |
| - `riprap.css`. Marp theme that ports the SvelteKit UI's design |
| tokens 1:1: IBM Plex (Sans / Mono / Serif), Civic Hydrology paper |
| register (`#F4F6F9`), Stone palette, the dam mark. |
| - `logo.svg`, `logo-paper.svg`. Cleaned dam mark variants used by |
| the title and CTA slides. The original Noun Project file (with |
| embedded attribution text) lives at `assets/` in the repo root. |
| - `Makefile`. One-command builds. |
|
|
| ## Render |
|
|
| Marp CLI is the simplest path. Install once: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| npm install -g @marp-team/marp-cli |
| ``` |
|
|
| Build any of the three artefacts: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| make pdf # writes deck.pdf (best for sharing) |
| make html # writes deck.html (best for live presenting in browser) |
| make pptx # writes deck.pptx (best for editing in Keynote / PowerPoint) |
| make all # all three |
| make clean |
| ``` |
|
|
| Or directly: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| marp deck.md --theme riprap.css --pdf --output deck.pdf |
| marp deck.md --theme riprap.css --html --output deck.html |
| marp deck.md --theme riprap.css --pptx --output deck.pptx |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Notes |
|
|
| - The theme `@import`s IBM Plex from Google Fonts, so Marp needs |
| network access on first build. Cache it by building once on a |
| connected machine. |
| - The deck targets a 1280×720 16:9 frame. |
| - Slide 7 is the demo handoff. Leave the slide visible while you |
| cut to the live screen capture, then return to slide 8 for the |
| closing CTA. |
