Ha, nice demo presentation.

One minor piece of feedback: add slide number out of total below the slide.

Nice work. Number of viewers or devices the presentation is open on would be good info for the presenter too.

Nice :) I'm curious to see how long the http://slidescroll.com/demo_presentation holds up as HN comes barging in! Right now, every time someone clicks that link the presentation starts over at the beginning for everyone.

Yeah, that's gonna get pretty annoying : ) That "global sync" option is only for that one slide deck though (for demo purposes). If you upload your own deck, only the uploaded gets to control the slides.

There should be a different demo page for each visitor. I was confused and thought it wasn't working well at first.

Regular presentation are only controlled by the author. I made a special case for the demo. Yes, there should be a unique-sync code for each visitor to the demo. I though the universal sync would be collaborative. Might have been my mistake.

I wouldn't change it. When it is going crazy it only reinforces the power of the Sync tech you are doing.

Good advice. The happy medium is a unique code for each person who click the demo link. Firebase would make this easy. Thoughts?

Very nice, however the "unsynced" mode doesnt' work for me, still seems like someone else is flipping pages for me
jenkinsj
That is fixed. Thanks for the feedback.

Looks cool! How long have you been working on Slidescroll?
jenkinsj
It's been about 9 months on and off. But the latest iteration was a furious week of coding.

Tried with IE9 and IE10 and get blank screen and no transitions. If I view with Chrome, all is happy.
woah
This is as it should be

EDIT: well maybe not for IE10

Great work. It's come along way since the earlier prototype I've seen.

For larger groups it would be great if you could click a link and go into private browsing mode, but still know what slide the group was on.

Love it!

Can't wait to use this when I present at conferences.

No.1!

Jeff. This is awesome. So glad to see those late night hours slaving away have paid off. Beers are on me!

p.s. Now is when the real work starts :)

Target clientele?
jenkinsj
People who need to control the material in their decks and want to view them on mobile/tablets.

why did you build this?

This is very cool. Tested it using Chrome (OS X), iPhone and 1st-gen. iPad together. Seamless experience on each of them. Really neat and with obvious use cases. Good work!

Very clean. I like the ease of use, natural progression, and the ability to skip ahead or follow the presentation without a ton of overhead or software to install.

Bonus points for killing it on my Android.
