Hey! I’m the creator of reveal.js. Thanks for sharing. Happy to answer questions if you have any. reveal.js was first released in 2011. A few years later I also launched a visual editing environment for reveal.js called Slides (slides.com). It has some pretty unique features targeted at developers, like a built-in CSS editor, access to the HTML source, and stepped line-by-line code highlighting. http://slides.com/new…

Big fan of reveal, thanks so much for your work. Useful for so many more things than just presentations. I normally use it for static marketing-ish sites, but been thinking recently about how to use it for more interactive applications...

I've been doing all my talk slides for the past few years with org-mode and Reveal.js. Really happy with both the workflow and the result[1]. I've settled on a pretty simple system with three main files: ideas.org → outline.org → slides.org I start with unstructured thoughts, turn them into a structure of a presentation and then into concrete slides, all in roughly the same format. With Emacs, it's easy to navigate b…

Interesting. How do you handle things like fragment markup from org mode, for example to reveal a bullet point or paragraph? Also, is your workflow org -> MD or org-> html? If to md, as I assume it probably is, can you just call in the slide breaks (---) in org mode directly? Could you maybe share some code? Edit: just learned about org-reveal. How did I miss this!

Yep, I use org-reveal which has an annotation for fragments.

Here's a link to the source for that particular talk: https://github.com/TikhonJelvis/talks/tree/master/haskell-lo...

Should have thought to link to it in my original comment :P.

Wow, spent some time fiddling with this framework. I really like it and I think the potential is huge, unfortunately I am too lazy so I will probably just stick with PowerPoint. Maybe make an adapter and publish to this format is possible..?

I use it _because_ I’m lazy. :) PowerPoint is fiddly. Emacs and org-reveal is simple. Just edit in plaintext org. Press a key command and the browser shows the result. Presentation can be version controlled in git.

slides.com is an amazing domain name. How did you land upon it?

(iirc) It was originally slid.es and the slides.com domain was added later, I know it's not an answer to your exact question, but slid.es was a pretty good start point too :-)

(It became a defacto go-to tool for slide decks for me because it was so memorable)

Thanks for making this!

IMHO this is the best tool to present scientific content, because it really allows "multi media" in the original sense: formulas, different kinds of images, and videos.

Although I'm struggling right now with the formula part (going off the example in readme which is also not working) but I'm sure I'll figure that one out after some shut-eye. :P

We started out as slid.es and then bought slides.com. I won’t share the exact amount, but I believe it was 5x our yearly revenue at the time so safe to say it was a big investment. We haven’t raised any money so my co-founder and I had to pay out of pocket.

You’re absolutely right. We started as slid.es which is still my personal favorite domain :)

Hi Hakim, this looks really great. Thanks for creating it :) A minor bit of feedback on the webpage: I spent a while looking for a link to an example presentation, but couldn't find one. I eventually realised that the entire top section is an example presentation. This is so cool!! I wonder if adding some text next to the arrow ("Try the demo", or similar?) might help people find it? The demo is so nice, it would be…

That’s a great point. I’ll add a demo link to the sidebar and make it scroll up and highlight the header. Thanks!

There's a new Demo link in the sidebar now :)
