This is very nice when you are willing to write basically code for your presentation, but nothing beats https://slides.com in productivity. It is the SaaS of the creator of Reveal.JS. I usually just make a monthly subscription when I need to make a new presentation, otherwise you can keep everything, just can't create new presentations. Basically "pay when you use it", very fair business model, worth every penny!

I've been working on https://presentador.app for a while now. It's like slides.com but more opinionated and the goal is to let it make the presentation for you. Let me know what you think. It's still under development but its usable and new features are coming soon! Thank you

Looks interesting, but you need a "new" button.

Thanks for sharing! What would be the main advantage of this vs something like Google Slides?

The reveal.js file format is HTML, an open standard, and will still be readable decades from now. Proprietary apps like Google Slides, I have to continually assess whether their file format is closed or has recently switched to being closed — because it is in the interest of the company to lock in its users and exploit network effects.

I don't think the javascript part is future-proof. Any client side UI rendering logic is tightly integrated with browsers' rendering quirks..

Looks nice. Related, if you already have Pandoc installed, you can get single markdown file => slideshow with Reveal.js (which the showcased site is based on) for free with pandoc -s -t revealjs slides.md -o slides.html You can choose other implementations too, like good old Slidy: pandoc -s -t slidy slides.md -o slides.html

Another option is PRESENTA Lib https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25313347
