Thanks for the detailed comment and feedback.

We're changing the dimming of the non-highlighted code right now -- that's feedback that we've gotten before.

We're also looking into ways to embed code into the markdown, and scrolling to the relevant code is a particularly good idea.

I think a lot of the value comes from when you're not sure how to navigate the codebase, so I agree that the example doesn't show the total value of the code. In larger codebases that are harder to navigate, I expect these to be much more useful.

Right now, we save the ref of the commit the slide was created on, so it's possible that the code will go out of date, but the slides will always be in sync.

One niche we were exploring was remote teams. We saw that they generally resort to screensharing to explain code and thought that this may be a better, faster alternative.

Thanks again for the detailed feedback!
