Reminds me of Prezi, a lot more than it reminds me of Jupyter notebooks. However, as someone who prefers to create PDF slides using LaTeX instead of PowerPoint, I completely prefer a scriptable tool instead of a web-based tool.
I worry this model could lead to a "wall of text" rather than forcing the presenter to be concise, speak to the concepts, and rely more heavily on images. The format is good for academic lecture scenarios but I'd probably just use Jupyter, as noted by others.
Yes, clearly this is not for every usecase. I think math lectures often need quite some text support, they are the reason I created Slipshow.
This immediately reminded me of the "infinite" blackboards we had in some university lecture theatres such that you could just revolve the board surface and keep claiming new writing space (you could also write at a consistent level - no bending / stretching). Something like this: https://www.ragandbonebristol.com/curiosities-1/vintage-wils...
When I was in college they would use a transparency projector, but instead of transparency pages, there would be a roll with a crank that you would turn to advanced the roll. You would get the same effect as slipshow.

I get that it’s usually seen as bad practice to write down all the points and read from the slides, but honestly, I like that style sometimes. My monkey brain gets distracted easily, and I often lose track. Having detailed agendas displayed on the screen helps me follow along better.
Of course, the "correct" way to do this would be with "speakers notes", but those seem to often be stripped off of archived presentations for whatever reason.
The markdown to presentation approach is great. You can manage your slide (or slips) as code giving you history, offline collaboration, pull requests, etc. I don't think you can do that with most other presentation tools. I've used Marp [1] for traditional slides, and wrote a GitHub template repo that outputs the Marp HTML to GitHub Pages [2]. Similar workflows should be possible for Slipshow. [1] https://marp.app/ […

The same design for all slides in the same workspace, a hosted version for non-developers, each slide has its own public url for easy slide playback, and more ...
