This has got to be one of the coolest new applications I've seen in a while! Plainview is a new browser (trust me, you DO need another browser) that is designed with giving presentations in mind. If you've ever needed to show a website within a keynote presentation you know how it can really interrupt the clean, professional aesthetic you worked so hard for. You have to exit full-screen mode and proceed in Safari or Firefox. Plainview is a minimal, full-screen browser that keeps your presentation streamlined. When you first launch Plainview, you'll see this screen:
Hit the hot key ⌘L and a Location bar will pop up where you can enter your URL:
Here's where it gets really cool! You can program a list of links into a presentation file and use a hot key to flip through them without having to click links on the site. With this, you can display and navigate websites without ever showing the cursor on the screen.
Presentations can be saved as the Plainview format .pvp:
Plainview will be installed on your computer the next time you're on a NPMi campus and you can find it in your Applications folder! If you can't find it, please visit art.northpoint.org for assistance!
