HTML5 presentation

Tried it in Chrome, and I'm hella impressed. Everybody else is busy hating on it, but I'd like to thank the developers for putting it together. That 20 minutes of playtime has taught me 10 times as much about what to expect (and why I should be excited) than all the discussions and blog posts I've seen so far.<p>So, while some things didn't work, I'm not going to harp or nag, as overall the presentation was excellent.

I realize that HN is a bastion of keyboard-worshippers, but it bugs the hell out of me that I can't click that arrow to progress.

Cool demo, but it's a bit odd to tout new, standard features, when you have a disclaimer that this is only intended to completely work in Google Chrome with experimental features enabled. Part of the excitement is that these features are being standardized, and aren't just one vendor wandering off and doing their own thing without consulting with anyone else.<p>What would be far more impressive would be a demo that worked seamlessly in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and IE with Chrome Frame, with graceful degradation (or, preferably, progressive enhancement) for features which aren't implemented yet in IE without Chrome Frame (and the features that aren't yet fully supported cross-browser).

I don't have an arrow key on my phone, why not make it advance upon click?

This is extremely cool. I admit it scared me a little bit just how easy it was to do the geolocation. The web is about to change dramatically, again. :)

Uh, why only use webkit specific CSS attributes when there are mozilla ones as well.

Awesome. It doesn't work on the Droid, because of the arrow key requirement. I also think it is missing a position-in-presentation indicator, like a progressbar or a smaller zoomed out version along the bottom.

That was great!<p>though i didn't get the last comment about IE6. I tried loading the url in IE6 twice, and both times the browser crashed.

Which browsers are WebGL-enabled?<p>Chrome 5.0.342.9 (beta) does not seem to be.

I didn't realize inline-block was considered html5 -- I had been using that for almost 2 years already.

The "Web 2.0 Logo Creatr" slide is both useful and hilarious.

The best HTML5 introduction I've seen so far. Very nice! This just gets me even more excited about the future of web apps.

I wonder if the author will write a tutorial on how he created this. Explaining the presentation elements (I mean).

Tried in FF and in Chrome and the browser "Back" key doesn't work, only &#60;- and -&#62; arrows do.<p>Is this expected of HTML5?

Very nice. Not very FF friendly but still very nice. I am liking how the web will be in the coming future. Only need all browser vendors to get their act together and get standards compliant. Microsoft can be augmented with Chrome frame so the one hindering block can be ignored.

I tried searching within text and it works okay (in some cases it even moves to the appropriate "slide"). I managed to break things, however.<p>That said, I hope Adobe is scared as hell--and more importantly, that they get their act together... or else.

I am most excited about the css; this will cut our development time in half! We aren't going to need images to have decent looking buttons anymore.

It looks like HTML is no more just Hyper-TEXT Markup Language.. It should perhaps be called Hyper Markup Language.

Doesn't work in opera. Alignment is screwed up.

lots of failures in FF

Nobody has said anything about it breaking the back button yet.

Does the <i></i>amazing<i></i> presentation go to 5 pages only ?? Rather a HUGE letdown, i'd say.
