I was surprised to see this today as I want to use slides!

I am actually a fan of the simple, anti-powerpoint editor - that is why I use slides.

I hope you keep the old edited as an option so there is still the easy way to make WOW slides!

The old editor will be around for a long time since old presentations can't be opened in the new editor. To create new decks with the old editor, append ?version=1 to the URL: /username/new?version=1

I'm the JS developer/designer who built this. Happy to answer questions if you have any.

Looks really cool, congrats. By the way, I love your hakim.se experiments lab. Such a treasure trove of cool ideas. Really, really inspirational. Best of luck with Slides!

Beautiful editor, what's it built with?

Most of it is custom built rather than using a larger JS framework. We do use a whole lot of libraries for specific tasks though, like moment.js for date formatting, Ace for code editing, Spectrum for the color picker.

Fabulous, seriously clever - just needs a markdown to slide converter as somewhere to start. I like to outline my presentations first and md is a great way to do it. Finessing a presentation with something like this would be ideal.
