This seems to be quite nice. The generated slides look very good.

For everyone looking for a html based alternative: slideshow (or S9) [1] is a ruby tool that also lets you generate slides from markdown. It has output plugins for most of the popular html5/js-based presentation systems.

It is a nice tool but what I like even better is its mailing list [2]. It is a wonderful place to learn about and discuss alternative and/or related projects.

The same thing exists for the R programming language in Slidify [0]. I found Slidify + Google's io2012 framework an efficient way to generate good-looking presentations [1] so I can see the appeal in extending this to non-programmers.

Reveal.js (https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js) also supports writing your slides in Markdown.

I've used it for the last 3 or 4 presentations I've given and it has worked out well. It doesn't come with a huge variety of themes, but it is easy to share - I can just push it out to Github Pages.


Reveal.js is practically the default presentation tool for some groups at my workplace. Works quite well and looks quite good as well. Publishing is easy and works on FF and Chrome.


There's also http://hast.me.
