This replaces PowerPoint for me: native to the web, simpler, with an open-source variant.
Go to contentPeople still call presentations or slides for powerpoints. That’s kind of funny. This could be an anecdote about that, but it’s not. I’m about to make some slides, and I wonder what applications to use. So here’s some notes instead. I googled around, and liked these two:
The first is really the visual editor implementation of the other, so it’s kind of like I just found one thing.
I’m not so fond of impress or prezi, because they’re just TOO nice. It’s like I’m trying to impress when I use them. And no one is impressive when they try to impress, because then they obviously spent too much time on it.
There’s a bunch of HTML5/JS presentation tools, similar reveal, like http://shwr.me/ which was the next best thing I found, as well as a whole many other similar ones. I realize most of them are basically just some nice css + js that allows you to use arrows to skip between “slides”. Perhaps I should make another one? Looks like fun :)
