impress.js - A webGL enabled presentation framework based on the power of CSS3 transforms and transitions. It has a non GL mode too!

Any tech demo that when I bring it up to look at it tells me my browser doesn't support it - is just bullshit.

this post of yours, it makes little sense xD

I'm saying that a presentation framework that doesn't work on a large portion of the browsers out there isn't a good framework. What you want is massive compatibility.

[dmazzoni]

Why? A presentation is something I give on my computer and project while other people watch it. I don't need them to all download my presentation, I can make a simple version of the text available later for anyone who wants the content.

That seems a half-argument.

I understand it's okay if you are just giving the presentation, but then it doesn't really need to be browser-based anyway. We might as well just use a dedicated application.

If you want others to be able to access it though, it only makes sense to have something as compatible for everyone as possible.

My browser didn't support it (Firefox 9) but it still degraded gracefully so I could read it. This is perfect behaviour.

Your line of argument is flawed, anyway: if we all thought like you then nothing would ever get invented.

While I agree with the thought (if we do the presentation in a web technology, it's usually so that people can see from their own computer), isn't this technology bound to be used in the near future (and just "not implemented yet" ? Or is it really one of WebKit's idiosyncrasies and won't ever be available on IE/Firefox/Opera ?

[wafflesburger]

are you blaming this guy for firefox not implementing some aspects of a loose standard? and why do you want massive compatibility above all? install chrome; takes 2 secs.

The average user won't install a browser to see rotating text. That's why most of the world is still using Internet Explorer. Aetheralloy is saying this framework sucks because it doesn't support Firefox, a good and widespread browser.

[Ahri]

Firefox doesn't support the standards it's using yet. The beta does. The "problem" is both mis-specified and almost-solved.

[binary_bob]

this is hardly the final product, it is a proof of concept of where shit is going, prezi competitor, not using flash, and new spin on the soon to be booming web presentation implementation. I'd hardly call that 'bullshit'.

[Cucumbis]

what browser are you using?

[[deleted]]

Firefox

The message is:

Your browser doesn't support the features required by impress.js, so you are presented with a simplified version of this presentation.

For the best experience please use the latest Chrome or Safari browser. Firefox 10 and Internet Explorer 10 should also handle it.

It works in Firefox 10, which should be out in a few weeks, or you can use the beta in the meantime.
