I like the idea behind this and other projects like it, but I have one main issue with it/them:

It isn't trivial to share presentations, which is something that most people will want to do. Sadly the fact that you can build a presentation in HTML (and that people can look at it online) doesn't outweigh sharing a PDF. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for lighter more flexible solutions (which html is), but the market as a whole generally isn't.




Why can't you just share a simple link?

Note these presentations were made with a different html slide deck utility, but I think that it should be easy to do the same thing with deck.js.

I think there are some advantages compared to sharing PDF presentation - embedded video at least.


I fucking hate PDF on the browser. It's very slow to download, take up huge resources, hard/not lenient in re-sizing and is the worst choice for presentations.

This is a lot better choice, but each scenario has different needs. PDF is good for books, and long documents.
