There's a new Demo link in the sidebar now :)

You’re absolutely right. We started as slid.es which is still my personal favorite domain :)

We started out as slid.es and then bought slides.com. I won’t share the exact amount, but I believe it was 5x our yearly revenue at the time so safe to say it was a big investment. We haven’t raised any money so my co-founder and I had to pay out of pocket.

That’s a great point. I’ll add a demo link to the sidebar and make it scroll up and highlight the header. Thanks!

The reveal.js Multiplex plugin lets you do this, though it requires some manual setup to get the server running. https://github.com/reveal/multiplex
The official reveal.js platform at slides.com also support remote presenting, streamed to any number of viewers. More info and screenshots at https://help.slides.com/knowledgebase/articles/333924-presen...

Hey! I’m the creator of reveal.js. Thanks for sharing. Happy to answer questions if you have any.
reveal.js was first released in 2011. A few years later I also launched a visual editing environment for reveal.js called Slides (slides.com). It has some pretty unique features targeted at developers, like a built-in CSS editor, access to the HTML source, and stepped line-by-line code highlighting. http://slides.com/news/developers
It’s been really great finding a sustainable way to continue working on open source (reveal.js) thanks to the revenue from the proprietary editor (Slides).

Good feedback. We'll add some instructions to the page.

Nope, presentations can only be embedded as iframes.

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.

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
