The reveal.js slide itself probably isn't the best way for readers. The reveal.js project actually provides a PDF export feature which can be more helpful.

Anyway, it's an asahilina.net page, not a cve.mitre.org page. That domain is for the Virtual YouTuber Lina-chan, so I would not expect it to be the most friendly for developers.

As a VTuber follower, I do really like the style :D

It's clearly a slide deck for a conference presentation or something. So yea, it's terrible for a web page.

I don’t think it’s a presentation. It’s multi dimensional. No one’s navigating multiple dimensions while presenting.

That's actually not a terrible idea... depending on if people ask questions or if you have extra time while presenting, the ability to take a small detour would be pretty cool

I genuinely don't understand when I should be pressing down or right. Is there a linear way to view this?

It’s why I hate reveal.js

It’s the most unintuitive mechanism unless you’ve already internalized what deck structures should be.

It seems like it’s optimized for the presenter but it’s often used for after the fact sharing with everyone else who won’t know the order.

It really needs a linear mode, with the option to see presenter notes.

This form of slide deck has become a staple in the security research community for some reason. I don't like it either but they're just following form.

Oh wow, it's a slide deck! In Firefox, I was only seeing a deconstructed giant canvas, scrollable in two dimensions but without slide boundaries.

In Safari and Chrome, it makes a lot more sense now. The interactive demo slide is impressive!

Update: Weirdly enough, after another refresh I now also see slides on Firefox.

When presenting the reveal.js interaction model is to hit space or some other navigation key.

I’m not defending it, because I legitimately think their multidimensional view is horrible for post facto sharing, especially on mobile. But it does mean that you can quickly navigate between chunks of the deck if you need to backtrack as a presenter.

I can't even tell it's crappy. Just a blank screen with Javascript disabled. Sites aren't worth visiting if they don't care about usability and accessibility, and promptly get added to my shit-list of domains.

It probably failed to load some piece of JS or CSS the first time around.
