Decker is a multimedia platform for creating and sharing interactive documents, with sound, images, hypertext, and scripted behavior.
Summary:
- It’s essentially a multimedia hypertext system, inspired by HyperCard, but reimagined for the modern era.
- You build “decks,” which are stacks of cards.
- Each card can have text, images, sounds, and interactive elements.
- You can script interactivity using Lil, Decker’s built-in scripting language.
Interactive Documentation with Decker
Interactive Documentation is all about:
- Linking between sections easily
- Embedding images/screenshots
- Adding forms or fields users can fill in
- Using scripts to respond to clicks, inputs, or other events
With Decker, you can do all that in a single .deck file that runs in the Decker app or in the browser (it exports to HTML/JS).
