Thank you for NOT using Flash. Flash does not work on Blackberry or the iPhone, it’s a resource hog, is bloatware, and much can be done without that blight that Adobe is keeping on life support. More javascript the better because all browsers support it (if done properly), no plug in, no killing battery life, supports mobile browsers, in short, keep up the great work!

I really enjoyed using the app. It really does feel like a desktop app.

Perhaps, the UI can be a little better in not being such an Keynote clone.

And I would love to see some kind of plugin system so that I can write my custom plugins to enhance the functionality.

Looking forward to Cappuccino going open source!

Why oh why can’t any of these online tools support RTL languages… is it that difficult to accomplish?

I agree with whoopie goldberg in #14; looks a lot like a solution looking for a problem. Does anyone really need this?

Framework does sound interesting and more of a product;
this app is just a demo of what you can do with the framework.

The biggest news about 280 Slides has nothing to do with the application but everything to do with how they wrote it. The application is written in Objective-C which they they wrote an entire JavaScript wrapper/runtime for which you can read in their .j script files. Never seen .j files before? That’s because it’s brand new. What they call “Cappuccino” sounds way more exciting than what they actually made with it. Can’t wait for *that* to be released.

Congrats to the 280Slides team! It’s a great web-based slide authoring tool , and it’s just amazing that it is 100% Javascript … it really feels much more like a desktop application than anything else.

How is it apple-like? Other than completely ripping off the GUI, it has virtually none of the functionality of Keynote. No charts, no tables, no animation, no transitions, no collaboration, no custom themes or backgrounds, no audio, etc. And it’s way too buggy for a public beta.

But, according to the article, keyboard shortcuts work so at least they’ve got that going for them, I guess…

Quite an easy tool. Adding photos and videos is really easy (from a search box) and so is re-sizing and re-arranging. Rest of the stuff is very much apple like. I mean neat!!

@zm We did run Paul’s presentation at startup school, but our codebase has changed quite a bit since then. Actually, we wrote a custom version of the app for Paul, so technically this isn’t the same program, but your point is well taken. That’s why we baked downloading to powerpoint into the program so your presentation will always be ready for you offline and online

@Jack @jenni @everyone We know about the jumping to the top of the page issue, and have just pushed new code that should fix the problem.

@billy We had some initial hiccups, but our servers are running a lot more smoothly now. Hopefully the presentation is loading for you.

@Peter Urban, @Ali Shah I’d love to see the errors, feel free to email them to me at ross@280north.com. Some errors are actually expected, since some of the things we do are reported as errors in Firefox even though they really are not. Of course, we do know that there are some real bugs, and we’re working to squash them quickly.

@Max Appreciate the feedback, and I’d love to hear more about what felt sluggish to you. It’s true that flash has a bit of an upper hand, mostly because its compiled to bytecode and runs as a plugin. However, our framework, Cappuccino, rivals the speed of most flash applications, and we’re constantly making it faster.

If anyone has tried either sliderocket or sproutbuilder, I think they’ll be disappointed in 280slides.
