In the last few month I had to prepare quite a few presentations and slides. This is not something that I’m very familiar with, so every time I end up with either LibreOffice or Google Slides or some other overpowered tool. Clicking around, formatting and reformatting, and having absolutely no version control that I am so used to for my programming and system administration needs – I thought there must be a better way.
Looking at some of the technical talks and presentations around, I discovered that the world is indeed a better place than what I think of it after spending hours in the fight with fonts and pictures. Apparently, there are quite a few systems now that utilize the power of HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript to help a semi-technical person keep his sanity.
Sitepoint has a helpful list of “5 of the Best Free HTML5 Presentation Systems“. Some of the links are broken, but even those that work have enough options to choose from:
I have a big and important presentation to prepare next week, so I’ll give these three a go and see which one I like the most.
