Yet another very nice HTML5 presentation framework with no GUI for actually making nice presentations. Until someone spends some time putting some actual user tools around one of these things, HTML5 presentation tools will remain a geek sandbox.

Here you go: http://awwation.com Unfinished, but it works. Code's on github.

You can try my iPad app Imprys (http://imprys.com/), which does just that. It's in an early stage, and currently uses impress.js, but if there's interest, I can produce a version with presenteer as well.

It reminds me a lot of impress.js[1], however, impress.js's execution is a lot smoother. [1] http://bartaz.github.com/impress.js

There's also jmpress.js[1], which is the jQuery port of impress.js and improves on several aspects.

The take I'd really like to see on HTML5 presentations is making them easy to author. If not by end-users, at least making it so there's no layout micromanagement involved.

Try out my iPad app, Imprys[1]. The iPad screen really lends itself to that kind of arrangement, because it's just so intuitive to zoom and pan around.

I don't have an iPad, but this looks nice. Is it open source?

I've made an open source experimental authoring tool for such presentations here http://adityab.github.com/Awwation It uses SVG, and Javascript for animations.

That thing is awesome! Great work!

Unfortunately not, as this needs to be my revenue stream in the near future. I do have plans to make it open source at some point, but first I need to earn some money with it.

That's interesting, but in viewing the presentation the text is almost unreadable in Safari -- too much space between some letters, while others overlap. If it works in Chrome, Firefox and IE... what's Safari doing wrong here? Oddly I just checked it on the iPhone and it seems fine there (although zooming out seems to be blocked, so the presentation is much too large for the screen).

The zoom issue is a security limitation in iOS's Safari: iframes aren't allowed to hide content or zoom, so you cannot hide malicious elements. I've seen the same issues with presentations using impress.js, built using my tool[1]. However, that issue should be fixable by loading the SVG directly (or embedding the presentation inside a div, instead of an iframe.
