So, after taking a look at your example the first thing that jumps out at me is the hack you've used to reveal individual bullet points one by one: * Overview + Create the Org-mode file * Overview + Create the Org-mode file + Export the Org-mode file to XHTML * Overview + Create the Org-mode file + Export the Org-mode file to XHTML + Create a stylesheet for slides Whilst this works, it doesn't seem entirely practical to duplicate the content like this, particularly in a larger slide stack. Could we use properties to control this? Reducing the previous outline to something like this: * Overview :PROPERTIES: :reveal: t :END: + Create the Org-mode file + Export the Org-mode file to XHTML + Create a stylesheet for slides Another suggestion, would be to offer more control over the title heading. Currently it seems that the heading is always the #+TITLE: rather than the current slides heading. A more sensible default would be to render the slides title here, with an option to have it be the presentations title. It also seems that the double-clicking/sensitivity when returning to a previous slide sometimes feels hard to perform. i.e. sometimes you click too slow and progress forward rather than back. This may or may not be something you have control over. As other's have suggested, supporting the back/forward keys and spacebar for flicking through slides would be nice too. Another feature suggestion might be support for automated timings. Where after loading a presentation pushing a button sets it off with each slide being displayed for a specified time, according to an overidable default (in seconds) e.g. #+INFOJS_OPT: timing:30 With overiding supported through property drawers: * Example of timings (whole slide takes 20 seconds) :PROPERTIES: :timing: 20 :reveal: t :END: + Wait on this point for 10 seconds + Wait on this point for 10 seconds then push onto next slide Finally, if possible, perhaps a class property could be used to control which CSS class a slide is rendered with? This might allow better control over certain slides where, for example you *ONLY* want a large image to be displayed centred without a title etc... As an aside, would it be possible to push org-info-js up into it's own git repo, with the slides example you posted? Checking it out through Worg is a mild pain, and it seems deserving of it's own repo. > For REAL slides a different tool should be written (using jQuery > or similar).

Yes, effects and transitions would be a nice bonus and should be achievable through libraries like scriptaculous and jquery... Thanks again for your hardwork! R.
