Cool project. Was actually thinking about this as I'm currently working on my first ever presentation. Decided to go with reveal.js. Gonna keep an eye on this.

I've seen plenty of these submitted before. A couple of others for Vim, too. I suspect they're more common for Emacs, though: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsPresentation

Related: I also made a vim-based presentation tool, called git-slides [1]. The main difference between Vimdeck and git-slides is that vimdeck generates slides out of a simpler format (Markdown), while git-slides displays one WYSIWYG slide for each commit in your git history.

If you're looking at reveal.js, and you like ruby, check out reveal-ck: https://github.com/jedcn/reveal-ck. Write your slides in slim, haml, or ruby itself. Example of how to do everything in reveal.js but in slim here: https://github.com/jedcn/reveal-ck-template. General introduction in the README, more info here: http://jedcn.com/posts/reveal-ck.

Nice work on vimdeck. I like the idea. I ran into a problem while using this gem because it didn't automatically install the required dependencies while installing the vimdeck gem, so I submitted a pull request for the fix.

Even though I really love my vim, i think sometimes it's ok to just go with LibreOffice or PowerPoint. nice job though!

Looks great, you should totally make a short presentation showing it using http://shelr.tv/ or one of these ttyrec to gif converters.
