I just released version 1.6.0 of Demo Time, a VS Code extension that helps you deliver smooth, repeatable, and impressive live coding demos — without fumbling with copy-pasting or praying to the demo gods.
v1.6.0 includes:
Improved slide parser for more flexible front matter
Hide mouse cursor + action bar in previews
New laser pointer feature for slide view
Slide zoom for better focus
Support for Apple Keynote integration
Demo Time is ideal for conference talks, workshops, or recording technical content. It keeps your hands free to explain while your demo runs exactly as planned.
