Slidery is a Java based project which allows to write presentations in markdown and generate slides in Impress.js and a bunch of other javascript presentation frameworks.

I assume there are a number of these, this is my version (written in python instead of java): https://github.com/scommab/impressor

Not surprisingly I like mine better, since you (in theory) shouldn't need to write any code, just create a markdown file a correctly formatted file.

I 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 think this presentation/page isn't simple enough. You use too much different fonts and styles (there are slides with regular, bold and italics style in one sentence). I liked the rocket-shape of presentation though. It's just my opinion, I'm not an expert.

Having played around with reveal.js ( http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/ ) just last week. This is even more interesting!

I didn't hear about reveal.js. I was considering impress.js (I've known this tool for some time already) as a tool to make my next presentation but I think reveal is better choice in my situation (I think it's easier to use and has everything I need). Thanks for the link!

Seems a lot of people (based on the comments) have written presentation generators :) Here's my contribution [1]. I created it to whip up quick slideshows for my club presentations on campus.

jmpress.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

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?

I thought jmpress was pretty much a superset of the functionality of impress. I could be wrong though.
