I wrote a cool little node application for reveal.js that lets you control the slideshow with your phone over websockets.
Reveal.js is great! :D

#42Another framework for making presentation that I love is Impress.js : http://bartaz.github.io/impress.js
It's a bit different and more technical than Reveal.js but it allow you to create fully customizable and unique presentation.
Re: Reveal.js
#43Am I the only one who finds the concept of "vertical slides" a bit, errr, wrong? A presentation is a linear process. The first time a skipped through someone's slides who had this concept (without being presented to) I missed half of the content. Is it for "things I might not have time for"? or What am I missing here?
Agree vertical is a bit suck. It's because it's much more complex to navigate - you're twice as likely to get lost as your brain works hard to remember it's position in a 2D space, much harder than a 1D "line" I think.
The need for drill-down is valid, but I some means of entering/exiting a new context would require less brain power. Like tabbed browsing. Or push/pop from a stack.
We're trying to crack these problems with some presenation tools we're prototyping. Fun fun...

#44“Hold down alt and click on any element to zoom in on it using zoom.js. Alt + click anywhere to zoom back out.”
Alt+mouse is bound to "move window" by default in GNOME (and perhaps others), and your event handlers will never get fired. (Personally, I love this keybinding: IMHO, it's a every quick and efficient way to move windows, since it increases the "catchable" area to the entire window, not just the title bar.)
Also, did anyone else notice that progress bar at the bottom?

#45Reveal.js is great. Up until recently, I was putting slides together using Google Docs (ugh!), and thought there had to be a different way so I started looking around. Reveal.js looked the best to me, but I wanted two things: 1) It running on a server reading new slideshows automatically, and 2) To write the slides in pure markdown (like how some others use `---` for slide separation). I ended up hacking together a q…
Nice.
It looks like the "pure markdown" part is built into reveal.js now: https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#external-markdown
Might this also address your requirement to read new slideshows (via browser refresh)?

#46It was great and it looks like it's just steady as she goes. Good job.
Re: Reveal.js
#47I suggest that you make the alt-click shortcut something else. Many Linux users have alt-click/drag mapped to moving/resizng their windows.

#48Protip: In addition to standard fullscreen, Chrome also has a "Presentation mode" that makes all the browser UI autohide at the top and makes the content full screen. Useful if you don't want the browser UI cluttering up your presentation.

#49I still prefer Keynote to JS presentation tools since playing with layout is easier manually than with css (for me). But one killer feature Keynote lacks is slide inheritance. I love using build-outs and I wish I could edit a parent slide and have the changes propagate to its children. This feature would be much easier to build out with a JS presentation framework.
Sounds like Slide Masters in PowerPoint. Have you given it a try lately?

Just created an account here to say I downloaded this and gave it a go... Very cool indeed, and love the use of socket.io! :)
