A comment on Best HTML5/CSS3 Presentation Frameworks.

As a quick test, I decided to test a feature which I consider 100% vital to any presentation tool. Does it cleanly work when I find myself on a 800x600, or even 640x480, projector?

    html5 slides (from google) : No
    Slides Presentation with HTML5: No
    CSSS : Unusably slow on Chrome 18, pegs to 100% CPU
    html5rocks: No. I can't actually get the presentation to view on my laptop at all.
    Impress.js: No
    Reveal.js: No
    Shower (mentioned in comments): Yes!
I would really, really like to switch to HTML presentations. At the moment I use keynote and it is the one thing stopping me from switching full-time mac os x -> linux. But, really I don't think most of these can be considered as more than just toys.

Hopefully some time we will get a nice shiny tool, which will allow easy simple animation, presentation tools, and resize to different projector sizes.

On another note, the actual blog post this is based on was terrible - just listing a bunch of tools, all of which are (in my opinion) terrible, was not particularly useful. However, I am now going to look at shower.

What part of Impress.js doesn't work? Don't look at the demo slideshow they give you, create your own. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Why wouldn't I look at the demo?

I want a presentation that looks nice when I am using a 640x480, and also looks nice when the projector is 1280x960. Can Impress.js do that?

Thank you! I was in the middle of debating what to do my presentation in and decided to go with Shower because of your analysis.
