Earlier quoted context omitted.

Here is a sample PreZentation. http://prezentit.com/german/6 Hope you like it :P

Is there a way to go full-screen? I hit F11 but there is still a small bar at the top of the screen.

IE7? No, that bar is for "security". Firefox/Opera/etc: real fullscreen.

Pretty slick. Can anyone that used the real Zenter make a comparison?

This one is missing quite a bit of the graphic stuff that Zenter had (but seems to have lost for Google Presentations). Rotations of text and images and browsing of Flickr and Google Images for images with drag and drop. Font handling in Zenter was also awesome to behold. It tried to replicate some of the really hard stuff in PowerPoint, that this one doesn't (yet).

Looks very slick, though. Definitely a contender, particularly if Google Presentations doesn't bring in all of that functionality that we were seeing in Zenter before it got sucked up by Google. The design is nice and clean, too, which is a plus.

I like it, its good. You could work on the name though. :)

I don't think the name is all that bad. All the good ones are taken, so you've got to go outside the realm of good spelling to get something even close to appropriate.

Nice work! Regarding your application to YC, I'd guess that if this were a past project, and now you were doing something that wasn't this, YC would accept you in a heartbeat. You guys could even be one of the "leave the 'what will you make?' field blank" groups, and get accepted.

But, YC already funded a very similar company. I wonder if they would have reservations about funding a competitor. Perhaps not, given that Zenter has been acquired, but I don't know.

I was going to say that another issue is going head-to-head against Google. But I now don't think that's so much of a problem. Yahoo and Microsoft are going to need their own versions of Powerpoint, and I think they'd totally snap this up.

1> no obvious demo button to see the tool in action

2> why I gotta register

3> can I upload powerpoints?

That's a review of your web site, not your web application, but that's kind of the point - I didn't get to your application, because your web site is in the way.

Demo, on the home page, using your own tool to pitch me your own tool.

Thanks for that,

1> Well, you can try it, pressing the Try it link ( you're right it should be a button).

2> You need o be registered to access your presentations, editing, and managing them. (We should also explain it too).

3> No, you can't upload powerpoints yet.

Have you tried the presentation editor?

We are working on the graphic stuff right now, we have awesome ideas for it, I think we should have it done in a couple of weeks.

I think that one of the things that makes us different is the ability to edit presentations between a group of people in real time.

We worked a lot on the design too, we believe that a good tool must have a nice design and be easy to use.
