Looks really cool, congrats. By the way, I love your hakim.se experiments lab. Such a treasure trove of cool ideas. Really, really inspirational. Best of luck with Slides!
Most of it is custom built rather than using a larger JS framework. We do use a whole lot of libraries for specific tasks though, like moment.js for date formatting, Ace for code editing, Spectrum for the color picker.
Hi Hakim. I've enjoyed using Slides for awhile now as a paid subscriber. I'll play around with new version this weekend. At first glance I think it will be easier to use the drag-and-drop method for placing text. Also will take this moment to thank you for your contributions - have been using your Ladda buttons in my projects. Hope Slides is going well for you and continues.
Fabulous, seriously clever - just needs a markdown to slide converter as somewhere to start. I like to outline my presentations first and md is a great way to do it. Finessing a presentation with something like this would be ideal.
The old editor will be around for a long time since old presentations can't be opened in the new editor. To create new decks with the old editor, append ?version=1 to the URL: /username/new?version=1
