The top navigation menu is horrible, it's transparent and the grey text gets lost in the underlying graphics. It's distractive and feels broken.<p><a href="http://imgur.com/hMxRewr" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/hMxRewr</a>
Cool product! I've actually been working on a similar project for my website <a href="http://www.Pitchenvy.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.Pitchenvy.com</a> . It's a gallery of startup pitch decks (the best ones that are public).<p>It's really important to have a pitch deck that attracts the attention of your audience and concisely delivers all your points. I'm glad that more founders are focusing on this. However, the pitch deck <i>should not</i> be your main concern in regards to your pitch. Don't forget that 50% of the pitch is the presentation itself. You need to build rapport & engage the audience. The best pitches are the ones where the audience feels like they are a part of a genuinely interesting conversation...without needing to speak a word! I know that alot of founders are not great public speakers, but with the right amount of practice anyone can deliver the perfect pitch.
Where's the print stylesheet?<p>Many times a plain PDF printed out on a stack of dead trees is still the best way to pitch. Unfortunately it's a PITA to build good-looking PDF decks in standard presentation tools... would be awesome to just edit some HTML and generate the PDF from that.
What's to stop people visiting the demo page and copying the markup, stylesheets and JS?<p>I guess $10 is less valuable than your time of 1hr writing the equivalent but I'm also sure you'd have to invest time to customize the deck anyhow to make it original and there is tons of open source HTML slide deck alternatives already to start from, like Bespoke <a href="http://markdalgleish.com/projects/bespoke.js/" rel="nofollow">http://markdalgleish.com/projects/bespoke.js/</a>
Have you considered creating a platform such as <a href="http://gust.com/en/" rel="nofollow">http://gust.com/en/</a> with your design features and the possibility to share links for start-ups? Its free for start-ups (and they can share url links with their contacts) but once you have enough pitches, investors pay to browse through the platform and identify/contact projects relevant to their investments strategies.
I love the progress bar along the top (Forces you to keep it short, and stops everyone wondering when it ends).<p>But when you're on the last slide, the bar isn't fully colored. I know it's a tiny thing, but it's strangely annoying seeing a progress bar you can't fill!<p>Nice work though.
This[0] happens on Chrome, Windows 7. I really like the idea but the CSS seems a little janky, maybe it's limited to Win+Chrome.<p>[0] <a href="http://i.imgur.com/dHLNlCb.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/dHLNlCb.png</a>
