   On the front page about 1.5 years ago with 2sli.de, my web app for interactive slides: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10890531 I got a few hundred sign-ups but not much else; I am still maintaining the site but have n

   The general point is a good one. However, the specific issue the author raises (paid advanced search) is easily avoided with google's "site" operator, e.g. "potterheads site:academia.edu"

   I am sure you're right, but it is disappointing that this is the case. Rapid Chinese expansion of HSR suggests that it is technically possible to do it much more quickly.

   Yes, I guess these particular seats are not more dense, but the idea of trading some cabin volume for legroom seems a good one, but requires some innovation.

   This is exactly right. A far better form of innovation is to make better use of aircraft cabin volume. Every time I fly, it seems like a good 30 - 50% of the cabin volume is either (a) empty space of (b) overhead bags. Something like this [

   This is more about falsification. Many view automation as a substitute for human labour. This is some evidence that contradicts these expectations (although it is far from conclusive).

   One problem is that there is no incentive to replicate. From the PhD onwards, academia creates incentives for original research. Replications, particularly those that confirmed existing research, would not benefit the researcher much.

    Air France 447 is another example of when an unexpected transition to manual controls caused a crash. There's a good story on autopilot and automation more generally at: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015&

    Thanks, yes that would be appropriate (e.g. a movable object should have a movable cursor). I'll check through the app for this, although any specifics are much appreciated. I'd be grateful for feedback on your experience, my emai

    Yes, fair enough the path is not deterministic (although I think slide content may be). Ironically, in 2Sli.de the path is deterministic, and the content is not! Maybe something to work on there.

    Yes, that is a good point. I had really only envisioned this as a web app: I think a web-based editor with all data offline would not be easily accommodated in the design: I'd have to advise someone with those particular needs to look

    Well, the presentation is private by default. It would be hard to associate that data with you without a sign-up (I guess unique URLS would be an option). I also made it for myself to use in the first instance, and having some kind of login

    You can run it offline two ways: * Choose the "offline download" option in the main menu. In your browser do some version of "Save" with the type "Webpage Complete." This saves as a webpage with all associated

    Thanks, I'll check out LectoraOnline too to see what I can learn.

    Thanks, wooclap looks really good and possibly more simple. Will check it out in more detail! The QR code leads to the web-response (e.g. it encodes the URL g.2sli.de) I found some audience members had trouble with the short domain, they wo

    Thanks, that is a good point. The demo presentation is actually a bit dated and could use updating. The demo video is actually better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YXthp3vcJs One less-visible feature of the site is that

    I think I would highlight the following features: * Interactions: last time I checked RevealJS does not offer any kind of interactions. It tends to be hosted as static HTML files, so you need some kind of logic to process interactions * C

    Thanks for the feedback (ouch!). I agree that the app is not-suitable for fine-grained drawing, and for target users specialised hardware won't work. I'm curious about the link referenced in [1] - there is polling software out the

    I think this is a growing area Bunkr is another alternative but I have not tried it much myself. 2Sli.de also offers phone-as-remote (plus annotation on the phone, move objects on the phone and sync to the screen, etc).

    While others have rightly pointed out pollanywhere, I'm looking to go beyond just polls. I have text based discussions and will be adding audience annotations (useful for small meetings, brainstorming, etc) in the near future.

    Try it and tell me (please)! You can embed youtube and vimeo very easily. I'm planning to use an API like oembed ( http://oembed.com/ ) to handle a greater variety of media soon. You can also control your slides using a

    Yes, please try it out! I'm also planning to add a "rapid compose" version using markdown (for some people point and click is slower than typing).
