Feedback: navigation within a slide deck needs to happen with `history.replaceState` not `history.pushState` so that it is possible to leave the page again after scrolling around a bit. As it is the back button forces me to back out through my entire scroll history to get to the web page I was previously on which is an anger-inducing experience I would not want to subject others to.

As mentioned if plain text is your goal it would be really nice if there were some way to serve the content as plain HTML as a backup

Black on blue/purple (what color is that?) and viceversa are probably fashionable but not the most readable combinations. For sure they are a way to force readers to put extra effort into reading so maybe it's a deliberate choice: whoever gets the point is really interested. Survivor bias.

Not knowing whether a tap shows more text or moves to the next slide makes me super anxious. Would love an indicator whether there's more text for the slide in the next tap.
