  Wow, they run an entire web server just for slides?

    They're not just slides. Some of the slides have code that you can click to run: http://talks.golang.org/2012/concurrency.slide http://talks.golang.org/2012/concurrency.slide

      My lack of knowledge resulted in downvotes. Thanks for the reply.

    Wow. You have to use a whole web browser just to view slides ?

      When you are Google and your slides generate traffic why not right?

      The web is almost perfect for a presentation.

    If you don't care about executing the code, you can save the slides to a PDF. I did this in Chrome many times and it works well.

It is unreadable on an iPhone.

Doesn't work on iPhone which is annoying.

  It works fine on an iPhone. Tap the left or right side of the slide to go back or forward, respectively.

    I have to hold the screen in landscape to not get the sides of the slides cropped off, and then I still get the address bar covering the headline after each new slide load, unless I tilt the phone to portrait and back for each slide. Horrible.

      The Go project philosophy emphasizes simplicity of development over end-user usability. Much like HackerNews website implementation, actually.

        HN is super-usable. Just a simple website. Minimal JS and styling. That slide-script is just broken.

        HN is pretty dreadful on mobile.

      Just use your two fingers to slightly zoom out one slide, and you won't have the address bar covering the headline after that.

I'd recommend present.js instead.
