contestantDead simple and yet functional and organized. Kudos to you, guys
iapainjudgeCool tool, clean design, lovely remote. Pity you cannot hook your own css into slides. Overall awesome app.
erniehacksjudgeLove it. Obvious utility, easy to hack on and share.
Experience design is great – excellent choice to treat the help text as default content and make it editable. The “secret” design is well-conceived too. Bonus points for throwing a feedback widget into the page.
My only critiques are that the save action is a bit buggy (pagination broke for a moment when I injected a new slide and saved) and it would be great if edits created some kind UI update that let me know I had to save before seeing them in the slide show in the right pane.
Congrats on pulling this off – very slick.
andrewpbrettjudgeVery cool, and very slick and polished. The one minor quibble I had was that it wasn’t apparent that the Remote and Presentation View wouldn’t be synced with the preview pane, but that was fine, I figured it out without too much effort.
I’m not sure the “secret” is really being enforced. I entered one, hit save, and then was able to control via the remote tab without entering the secret. That may just be because I had already controlled it before entering the secret.
allancajudgeCouldn’t get the remote feature working. The IDE is a good idea. Felt like the right should be a real-time view of the code.
remjudgeDecent idea and reasonable execution. Mobile remote probably didn’t need the growl like errors and it felt really unresponsive (maybe hooking touchstart event if available instead of click?).
willconantjudgeI really love the execution here. The IDE setup is especially impressive, and the idea itself has real utility. I feel like the remote implementation is a little incomplete. For instance, I would like to see a “sync-to-slide” button, and I’d like to be able to see the slides on the remote screen. Maybe the remote mechanism would work better if the presenter could make a presentation session that got its own new URL for viewers, rather than just the one public and remote URL for each slide-show.

contestantUseful and simple.
wjgilmorejudgeAgh I so desperately wanted the remote to work via my iPhone. :–) I input the secret key on both ends no problem, but switching to remote view and flipping through slides wasn’t working. Running Chrome on the presentation side. Very very good idea though I’d love to see this go further!
robhawkesjudgeAwesome little app. I’m excited to see innovation being made in the presentation/slide area so it’ll be cool to see this progress.
mdejudgeExcellent work. Something actually useful, and lots of polish and attention to detail.
christopherbeckjudgeWell done. Looks dead simple to create online slideshows. I like being able to use basic HTML and embed video and such. Would have liked to have seen a styled up version rather than just plain black and white, but I expect that’s easy enough?

contestantJust wait for our next release after the judging is over. We are not finished yet! :)
swoodiejudgereally like the ui and concept, seems to work well – though i couldn’t get the video embed to work with youtube. http://sliders.nko2.nodeknockout.com/bc
therazorbladejudgeThat’s a really cool way to create quick presentations. Too bad it doesn’t support deck.js themes.
Similar to Slide-Tap.

nddrylliogjudgeWoha. This would’ve saved my ass so many times. No external programs needed, the remote worked just fine, even on I’m-living-in-2003-Android-Webkit. Kudos guys!

contestantI have seen a couple other things like this. It’s quite nice to have the preview but rather than editing the html of each slide in a single pane I’d prefer to edit each slide individually elsewhere.
For “sharability” of the shows this seems quite nice. All-in-all nice work. I like it.

contestantThe fact that you simply edit the HTML to create the slides is unintuitive IMHO. It would at least be better if each slide would have its own source code, that way a simple HTML error (unclosed tag) doesn’t ruin the presentation. I like the remote viewer, that certainly bumps up the Completeness

contestantI would have made it using a wysiwyg editor instead of editing html source..
Great idea! Would love to see some more WYSIWYG-type features
