Ugh, deep links should be part of the path, and anchor should be where on the page to scroll. Very annoying slide software. If the content weren't so good I simply wouldn't bother.
- jaen 8mo agoHTML+JavaScript-based statically hostable apps (eg. presentations) can't use paths as deep links, since there's no standard for simple static hosting or URL rewriting (even 30 years later). Oh well.
- gertop 8mo agoThey absolutely can generate the file tree so that each slide has its own url. They also could use the query part on the url rather than anchor. Lastly statically hosted doesn't mean no URL rewriting, they could again catch links to parts easily. The poor UX of these tools is just a lack of will, not a technical limitation. Then again hacker news should probably not blanket delete the hash in URLs either.
- gpvos 8mo agoYou should be able to use the query part of the URL (after ?). You can get at it with Javascript, but it doesn't influence which static HTML page is served.
- mywittyname 8mo agoI'm not sure why people hate using the query string so much.
