No, it is not. Wikipedia lists "western" examples because western canon is very well documented, and this documentation is reliable and extensive enough to quote from. My readings of Indian history have led me to accept that the freedom of

This submission is part of a depressing trend in HN I'm seeing: attention grabbing politically correct headlines that deliberately pick some individual data points (in this case, a certain ranting comic book author) that should be enough to

Go away, troll. This does not contribute anything to the discussion at hand and only shows that you don't want to process information that may contradict your own idea of fairness.

I don't have an iPad, but this looks nice. Is it open source?

Here you go: http://awwation.com Unfinished, but it works. Code's on github.

That's a... bug. If you resize the window even by a slight amount, just once, everything starts looking perfect.

This is great! How does it compare with impress.js or jmpress (the jQuery version of impress)? I'd like to use this in my authoring tool, if CSS3 animations work with SVG.

I've made an open source experimental authoring tool for such presentations here http://adityab.github.com/Awwation It uses SVG, and Javascript for animations.

I have a feeling that Prezi connects more with people who want to passively watch something explained to them, not very different from watching a youtube video.

Some notes: 1. I hacked this up as a holiday project. I think using SVG for presenting is a good idea because transforming, zooming, etc is apparently 'harder' or 'unnatural' in pure HTML, from an editor's perspective. 2. The upon clicking

That's just because I was quickly putting things together and I know mongo well enough. I agree Redis would be much better suited for this.

Thanks! I haven't added line-breaks and a few edge-case checks such as submitting strings of spaces - but will fix it in the morning.

Thanks! Yep, working on that.

I wrote this as a one-day holiday project. It is an experiment, and could use some improvement.

<trolling> VS is 'powerful', but Vim + BufExplorer + Project add-on + Taglist + grep steals the show. (I hate emacs). </trolling> I especially hate it when schools and universities in my country (almost all the ones I know)
