#2We built Haiku Deck because we hated boring PowerPoint presentations. We stripped out most of the features of a traditional presentation software and built it from the ground up to be optimized for content-creation on a tablet. Decks can be shared online, and also exported to PowerPoint or pdf for offline viewing.
To get a sense of what a typical deck looks like, here's a sample presentation that showcases some of my favorite quotes from the amazing @shit_hn_says twitter account: http://www.haikudeck.com/p/aP4taPvt7w/shit-hn-says
Would love to hear what you guys think.

That looks like a pretty cool looking app. I really like the design of your web site & app. You say you're not focusing on 'boring PowerPoint presentations', it seems that most of your examples are more like photo slideshows. It might help to show some more traditional style presentations in there as well.

Thanks, that's a great suggestion. We're getting some pretty diverse decks that our users have started to create, we'll start featuring those in the gallery soon.

#7Love this product, but please, please, please get me a web version so I can build decks from a non-Apple device. I'm just not in deck-building mode on my phone or a little tablet.

Thanks, glad you like it.
Actually our initial plan was to launch the web version and tablet version at the same time, but we decided to focus 100% on the iPad for the v1 launch, and use feedback (like this) to determine the next platform to expand to. We're a team of three so we're trying not to get spread too thin. :)

+1 great job on this app! I agree with Rand in a way. I love the ipad for consumption but I went to make a presentation for techstars last night and it was just a bit too much to bite off. Web though I would have used.
