I found it irritating and hard to follow. Had to close it after the fourth click. To each his own.

My beef with it was that it was too long and got boring. I quit reading after twenty or so slides.

To be honest, same here.

Awful design. It would be much more digestible as a single page of data that didn't screw up your back button.

In other words, no design? How engaging.

Huh? A single page can have a lot of design including images, fonts, animations, etc. anything you can imagine really.

I liked it, but I agree, not being to back into the hacker news comments in one click is frustrating.

I'm surprised there are people who don't open their links in new tabs on HN.

I find managing tabs annoying. What I would really like is for ctrl/alt clicking the back button to take me back to the previous domain.

How is it annoying "managing" tabs? They really aren't that difficult. If you open the link in a new tab, then when you're done you close the tab, it will go back to the previous domain (because they undo in the order they were created) - in other words, exactly what you wanted.

Post-Flash problem.

This allows you to share a link to a specific slide. It's a compromise.

They could have had both if they'd used window.history.replaceState()[1]

Shrink your browser window.

It would be even more digestible if I didn't know it existed.

Presentations have been around for quite a while:

The mobile version with it's long scroll is much better.

I liked this one, too:

It's like a more customiseable version of impress.js
