Cook up presentations with Git

An alternative that's been around for a while is Pandoc, a document converter written in Haskell. It can make S5 and Slidy slide decks from Markdown.<p><a href="http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#producing-html-slide-shows-with-pandoc" rel="nofollow">http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#producing-html-...</a>

Looked at the demo: it makes a total mess all over my history stack.<p>If you're trying to be "trend and geek," build a system that doesn't break the back button. Unless you're building a CSS3-only engine, you don't have to store the state in the URL. You can still parse the URL fragment to allow people to deep link the slides, having a small "link to this slide" button is worth it not to have to force the user to click back 20 times to leave the presentation.<p>Although I guess if you're using the TOC to navigate the slides non-linearly it could be considered a feature.

This is quite impressive, I have to admit. Though being that there is a Jekyll python-clone called Hyde, I thought they were finally being brought togetherf...

This is nice, although it's pretty similar to Showoff. <a href="https://github.com/schacon/showoff" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/schacon/showoff</a>

I think I'll just stick with Beamer. Not seeing any clear advantages here.

This is awesome! So much better then taking a USB or downloading a file. Will definitely be using this.

You've made my day.<p>Finally making presentations won't suck so bad. Or at least I hope it won't.

It's pretty cool but I would rather use HTML5 and maybe jQuery, that would be easier I guess

Thanks jingweno, will start using it this week for my own dev slide collection.
