Thanks for sharing! What would be the main advantage of this vs something like Google Slides?

Reveal.js is open source.

I’m a tech school teacher and we version control all our Reveal.js slides in Markdown, sharing styles and certain images.

The reveal.js file format is HTML, an open standard, and will still be readable decades from now.

Proprietary apps like Google Slides, I have to continually assess whether their file format is closed or has recently switched to being closed — because it is in the interest of the company to lock in its users and exploit network effects.

I don't think the javascript part is future-proof. Any client side UI rendering logic is tightly integrated with browsers' rendering quirks..
