As I said down-thread, my only immediate concern when I put the presentation together was presenting it from my own laptop. I appreciate that folks are wanting to read it on mobile, but I've got a lot of stuff on my plate (primarily work around maintaining Redux), and modifying my slides to work better on mobile has not been a priority.


Fair enough. Sorry about not reading before commenting.


No worries.

The complaints about it not being readable on mobile are legit. If I could wave a magic wand and make it all magically responsive, I would.

But, my original goal was simply to actually make the slides for the presentation, and show them during my talk. I do specifically use the Spectacle React/JS toolkit, as I _want_ to publish the slides online later for viewing on the web (one of several reasons why I don't make them in PowerPoint). But, part of the reason I can get away with that is that publishing them on my blog is just a matter of uploading the built assets and moving on, vs having to convert them from Powerpoint by hand or something.

I've got a ton of other priorities and tasks to deal with, and figuring out what's needed to make the slides well-formatted on mobile realistically isn't anywhere on that list. Honestly, this thread is the first time anyone's actually complained about that.

I'm not sure how much of the formatting issue is due to Spectacle's own styles, vs the typical slide layout that I have in there (which is mostly flexboxes with two items side-by-side). If anyone has some specific suggestions on how to alter the styles to make them work better, I could try to apply those and rebuild it.
