I really like reveal. However I still havent found a good way of creating slides. I find writing directly in HTML too tedious, but haven't really found a good other way. Most of the Markdown converters that are floating around are to restricted. At the moment I'm using org-reveal which works quite well, but I often find that the layout options lacking so I end up putting a lot of HTML into the org files which again defeats the purpose. Anyone have a good solution?

#12My favorite Reval.js trick is to iframe my public demo site. I give a quick look into the actual thing being presented, without switching windows.
My university examiners always ave at my presentations.
I'm very happy using this tool, but I have to admit you need to be HTML savvy to be really productive. For me the WYSIWYG editors are surely a stepdown for now, and sadly I haven't seen much improvement recently.

#13I found out recently that pandoc can take text markdown-ish files and turn them into
* Beamer presentations
* Powerpoint presentations
* Reveal.js presentations
Kind of crazy and interesting. I made a nuclear power deck with it and it worked ok.

#14Is the WYSIWYG editor on slides.com open source for those of us who would like to run it locally and not have to trust a binary?
High quality UX controls rarely are. I love slides.com and pay for the premium option to support the efforts. It’s awesome that they let you take a zip extract of the html/js version and run your whole presentation offline, which is handy at conferences. You can also export to PowerPoint and pdf too, which is was useful a few times.

#15Interesting, I just used deck.js (I think a similar thing) to create a presentation after decades of professional power-pointing. I decided to create my presentation in a series of markdown files, then run a script to compile them into a single HTML+deck.js side deck. The overhead of setting the thing up originally was worth it, the iteration on the presentation (eg ability to work on a single section in a markdown e…
This sounds like an excellent example of what Hedgedoc[0] (née CodiMD) does with the /s/ before the page portion of the URL.

#16FYI: Slideshow (S9) [1] lets you write your presentations in markdown and than lets you pick one of many template packs [2] such as Reveal.js, Bespoke.js, Deck.js, Shower.js, S6 and some more.

#17Can anyone recommend a realtime remote presentation solution? That is, something that updates the slides for the viewers as well, to use instead of sharing a screen with slides.

#18I was looking for a demo and then I saw that the big header is a presentation. Well done.

Good question. Would also be interested in this, as something to accompany [insert video conferencing tool of choice] to make use of dual monitors sensibly.
What's your use case out of interest?

I made something like this for my wife with clojure and clojurescript. Basically it used websockets to broadcast a url to the clients and the client displayed the image at the url with some css decoration.
She was doing phone conferencing for audio at the time.
Worked really well for its purpose and was super simple.
She has since moved to zoom and just does plain screen shares now.
