wow. a pleasure to use and look at. And there is already more than enough features to be useful. Only one thing: it would be better to me if the site would fit in one or two windows. Now I have: 1- the web site 2- the working presentation 3- the running presentation That's a lot of windows for one website.

You're right. We did it because: - The working presentation was easier to work in a new window (bigger workspace). - The running presentation needs a new window to be in full screen. We are thinking in previewing the presentation in the editor, so you will have just 2 opened windows. Also, if you just want to run the presentation you can do it directly from the website. What do you think about that solution?

a preview in the editor looks like a must indeed, for that and other reasons.

More comments: If I'm editing a presentation, switch windows, and go to the presentation list, if I choose one and click edit, the working presentation is automatically saved (gasp) and the editor does not come into focus either (although that might be KDE's focus stealing prevention at work).

Preview in the editor... done.

1> no obvious demo button to see the tool in action 2> why I gotta register 3> can I upload powerpoints? That's a review of your web site, not your web application, but that's kind of the point - I didn't get to your application, because your web site is in the way. Demo, on the home page, using your own tool to pitch me your own tool.

Thanks for that, 1> Well, you can try it, pressing the Try it link ( you're right it should be a button). 2> You need o be registered to access your presentations, editing, and managing them. (We should also explain it too). 3> No, you can't upload powerpoints yet. Have you tried the presentation editor?

Does it have OpenDocument support?

I tend to use desktop apps for this kind of thing, but for on-the-go editing while travelling, or remote presenting, this would be really useful. All my existing presentations are in OpenDocument tho.

Great execution. Bad concept. Been there done that. good luck.

About the concept, can you please tell me what is wrong with it so we can think about changing. Thanks.

Again i want to stress that you did great work. However as to the concept, your what people call a "me too" company. Alot of other companies doing the same thing at the same time. Yes you are a little bit different ,but not enough that most people will pick over .....google or whoever. If you can figure a way to interact with other service and provide features that they not have that might work.

Did you work on this alone or with a team?
