#42I must say that I completely missed the arrow keys and the page numbers at the bottom; the font color is way too light for the background. Maybe making that a bit more prominent would go a long way.

Portability. If you have to send a presentation around, embedding fonts in PowerPoint only works if the viewer is on a Windows machine, and keynote is not an option if your viewer is on a PC.
If you're worried about portability, you can export as a PDF. You could also use LibreOffice, which is cross-platform.
I often have complex animations and embedded video that will not survive the PDF export, and am sending presentations to people who can't just be asked to install libreoffice.

#44https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/ is my framework of choice when making slides.
reveal.js + pandoc + some customization is what I'm sitting at right now . While I like it a lot, I could imagine that reveal.js's default layout isn't suitable for presentations with lots of details. Also haven't figured out how to jump to a particular slide.
You can jump to a selected slide: http://htmlcheats.com/reveal-js/reveal-js-tutorial-reveal-js...

#45Yes, but why make html presentations at all? Are there any tangible benefits except for fancy animations?
No need to download any software. No need to choose between PowerPoint or Keynote.

#46That's pretty slick, nice work.
I don't make a lot of presentations, but the fact I could figure out a lot of it in minutes makes this attractive. I definitely see it as a web tool more than a marketing / management tool. If I showed our marketing dept markup they'd have a conniption fit.

for someone starting out with their first github project, one would appreciate your comment.. although one may be 100% OK for their work to be the subject of any rational analysis, it is worthwhile to know the constructive motive behind such discussion and thereby even criticism may encourage more future contributions (moving far from being the last project).
+1 for being vocal

#48It works great on IceCatMobile and is open source - so it has my support!

PDF has two problems for me:
One is that you can't have speaker notes integrated in the presentation the same way you can with PP or reveal.js.
The other one is that it doesn't scale. You export the slides in one display ratio and it stays like that. Most web presentation formats will adjust to whatever your display is doing.

#50Pressing "B" to black the screen is a feature that I consider critical that is missing here.
What do you use it for?
