On a side note, does anyone know about something like that for simple docs? Like if I want to migrate away for those bloated un-diffable PDFs and DOCXs to a HTML? Preferably it should support importing from those 2 formats.
You mean, like asciidoc?

#62Pressing "B" to black the screen is a feature that I consider critical that is missing here.
What do you use it for?
It seems that people use it to help audience focus. You would black the screen between slides. Probably you could emulate it by including blank slides in-between.
There is of course other opinion, that it can be more distracting, but it depends on material and speaker: http://www.mrmediatraining.com/2011/03/29/powerpoint-why-you...

That's in python (web is preferred) but yeah it seems fitting.

#65Still early - I've put together an "Awesome Slideshows" page -> https://github.com/slideshow-s9/awesome-slideshows listing (awesome) html presentation / slideshow templates, themes, tools and more.

What do you use it for?
It adds an element of professionalism to a presentation. You can hook up your lappy to the projector. Once things are tested, you black the screen while you wait for people to file in. This way the introducer can have the audience's full attention before your talk.
Also, it can be a powerful tool when you want the audience to pay attention to you and not the slides (if you need to go off-script for example).

For the first part, configuring a side screen, rather than a mirror screen works as well. Don't put the presentation on the extra screen until you want to.
Not very helpful for going off script though.
