  • Simple and easy to use

    • This is really neat – it basically can't be made any simpler, yet encourages best practices! A while ago, while on the lookout for a somewhat more fully-featured web-based…

    • This looks amazing! Great work. Did you write the lib from scratch? One small thing there is no way to return to edit mode from the present mode.

  • Text shrinks on slides in Chrome on Windows

    From 1 comment
    • I'm using Chrome on Windows 10, every time a textual slide shows up, the text shrinks/sharpening a bit. I feel uneasy. Is that on purpose?

Requests

  • Export to PDF or PowerPoint

    From 1 comment
    • Nice work, I've been looking for something just like this. For me it would be great to be able to export to PDF or even ODP/PPT

  • How to generate HTML from a text file outside the editor

    From 1 comment
    • This is great! What's the easiest way to go from a textual description in a file (like the left-hand side) to a generated html/js presentation? Without this online editor, I mean.

    • My favorite plain text presentation tool is `sent` [1]. It is even more minimal but works surprisingly well (at least for me). Javascript-free but only for X11. [1]…
