I figured this might appear on hacker news soon enough. If anyone has any questions about the tech behind this microsite (although it is pretty straightforward) let me know. We developed the site and the hosting to account for an enormous amount of traffic in a very short period of time. So far everything is working fine.

when I tried to view using firefox, the cpu bar kept high eating all the memory and unresponsive. I saw in firebug net tab that every slide was being fetch from slideshare in a loop. Does not happen in chrome.

Thanks. We had another report of that too, unfortunately we do not have much control over the slideshare embed, but we are working with them on it.

I think it's a SlideShare issue unrelated to this site. On my system, SlideShare bumps the CPU usage up to 50% or more in both Firefox and Chrome.

Such poor design for mobile. Almost unusable on a nexus 4. Ironic given the emphasis mobile gets in the presentation.

I'm interested to hear the feedback. We did the design for the site and tested it extensively on mobile. What issue are you seeing? My email is in my profile if you want to drop me a line.

edit: The slideshare embed is having some issues on mobile and desktop unfortunately. Very slow. They are working on it.
