Ask HN: Preparing slides?
5 points by richo on Jan 9, 2013 | hide | past | favorite | 8 comments
I'm preparing a new talk to deliver, and I've used Prezi before for a shiny slidebuilder.. thing. But I tired of the flash dependency, and untimately, it does a ton of stuff I don't need.

I basically need text and images, but it'd be nice to be in a format I can distribute easily. I'm assuming I'm not the first person to ponder this, so what are you guys using?



I've never used it myself but I've heard good things about google's html5 slides.

Seems like it would fit your easy to distribute requirement too.


This looks great! Thanks.


I would still recommend slideshare as the best bet. In the first page you can have a QR code. Also all slides can have a shout key (http://shoutkey.com/).

Like Prezi, but JS


Very cool indeed, but not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to focus on the content more than the presentation, but +1 for badass use of html5 + css3


If it doesn't have to be HTML, LaTeX Beamer works well and lets you create a PDF that is portable and easy to distribute.


Keynote -> upload to SpeakerDeck


I'm trying to move away from proprietary formats where possible, but I'll have a look. Thanks!
