Survey of web presentation tools
As discussed before , I’m interested in tools and processes around giving presentations. I manage (seek out) to give a handful of presentations a year and enjoy putting time into making my slide deck and practicing. I use Keynote exclusively if it’s a presentation I’m giving alone (Google Docs if it’s co-presented), but I I’d like to move to a web-based presentation, where the slides are HTML.
Fortunately there are lots of solutions and options for HTML and web-based presentation software. I have something specific in mind, but this post serves to survey some of the current tools in this space.
