This library has been around a while and is pretty compact and easy to use.

#12Very nice. Although at first, I didn't realize the slideshow kept going after the 3rd slide. It looked like it ended. It was only out of curiosity that I used the right arrow key and saw the whole sliding effect. Maybe make a note of that on the 3rd slide.

#13jmpress.js is an interesting fork of this with more features and some kind of deeper jquery integration. Worth a look: http://jmpressjs.github.com/jmpress.js/#/home

#15I opened up the source code and it was like a walkthrough. I like this a lot. I'll be spending some time on this tomrrow. All the references to Yoda made me dig up this classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=493ljyoox6o
Yup, the 'messages in the comments' aspect reminded me of the early days in mid to late 1990s.
I will get round to doing a mind map in this. A 'run time' steerable navigation mode would be great (I tend to do 'random walks' while teaching, and I use slide sorter view a lot during lessons).

So completely off-topic -- but if you like Darth Vader Rapping - then I need to suggest Epic Rap Battles (Of History):

(The rest of the series is quite fun as well -- and impressive for an indie outfit)

#17I love the concept of impress.js and started making a presentation for the agency I work for: http://kitchdigital.com/about/ Warning, there is a lot of zooming around and you might feel sick.
I felt sick after two transitions. Why would you create something that triggers potential customer's motion sickness?

Nice, but it feels like jmpressjs is actually somewhat restrictive compared to impress, am I right? jmpressjs feels more slide-oriented, whereas impress is more like prezi - position it yourself wherever you like in 2D space.. is this correct?
Re: Impress.js demo - presentation program
#19It's lovely! Well done.
I really strongly suggest you find a use for it that is not presentation. When I'm presenting I want people to be listening to what I'm saying, or getting information of the slide (or from their handouts); I don't want them thinking "Hey, that's a nice transition, I can't do that in powerpoint, I wonder what they used; wait, did he just say 27% up or 27% late? Wow, what was that group for?" etc.
I liked the way it told me after a few seconds that I needed to use arrows or the space bar. And it kept the back-button functionality.

#20I'm actually impressed by this. Good stuff!
