PDF Export

This allows you to take a presentation, and turn it into a sweet PDF for download. Particularly useful for pretty much anyone who needs to distribute offline slides. This is quite difficult but existing to a certain extent already. The problem is that it only works in the chrome browser so we’ll see how to extend this to make it browser independent.

Presentation notes

Like keynote and other presentation software, you can have slide notes that appear on your presentation while showing it to others. It is also a great way to publish a presentation outside of the normal body text. Every slide can have it’s own additional text which is visible.

Remote control

This allows people to view your slide on a ‘live’ setting so that when you broadcast or stream, it will move with it. This will further the ability to add in an audio stream through web sockets so doing live broadcasts with real-time moving slides is possible.

Theme Editor

A theme editor so you can properly create templates you can use in all your slides. This should be pretty sweet since you can pretty much export the theme, along with theme templates. We’d also like to toy with the idea of a theme community where people can upload their themes and integrate that into the slide editor – a bit like what you have in WordPress themes.

Nextgen Slide editor

  • Drag’n’drop media around on a canvas. This will allow you to absolutely place objects on the slide. Think of it like photoshop for your slide.
  • Integrate fonts such as TypeKit and/or Google Fonts
  • Support vector objects by creating our own version of the SVG support plugin. As we want to target retina devices better, this is a must!
  • Improved UI so that its easier to pick colours, change fonts, preview transitions and find information.
