I kinda like the slideshow, it lets me send someone a link to a specific slide.

  You can link specific pages in a PDF too, like thus: https://www.bondcap.com/pdf/190611_Internet_Trends_2019.pdf#page=8 https://www.bondcap.com/pdf/190611_Internet_Trends_2019.pdf#...

    woah. Is that a universal thing or is it browser-specific? I've never seen that before. edit: ah. Yeah it doesn't work on my phone (Pixel ... 1). It downloads the entire PDF and then just dumps me on the first page.

      The links are probably part of the PDF specification, but I guess will require support in every PDF reader in which you want to to use them.

      It's worked on every desktop browser I've tried it on. I haven't tried it on mobile. (Smartphones are not good for reading PDFs...)

  Maybe it's just me, but I didn't understand the (slideshow) interface. I saw "click to begin" and I saw a down arrow, so I put the two together and clicked "down" to begin. Then I saw a list of archives, and if I continued down, it ended. I assumed I had to click 2019, so I did that and I was back where I began. It took me trying that twice before I realized I had to click... anything except the arrow.

    Took me way longer than it should to figure it out. Then the slideshow took over my browser history :(

      It's poorly done for a high profile report about the internet.

    Oh no, it's not just you. I nearly gave up until I saw your comment

    Also clicking through on it seems to have a massive lag at the moment in loading slides (presumably due to a spike in load courtesy of HN frontpage appearance amongst others?). I just saw the same cover slide over and over again until eventually it caught up.
