Went looking a bit for something I could host myself.
This looks promising to me:

What Hacker News says
10 sourcesYou should check out landslide. https://github.com/adamzap/landslide/blob/master/README.md
In Ask HN: What are some repetitive tasks you do at work?That looks pretty useful.
With my terminal focus I suspect I'd go with landslide before an electron app.

In Marp: Markdown Presentation WriterIt's 2013 and there are tons of programs that can generate a decent HTML based presentation from a text file. Heck, I've encountered one just today while looking at the slides for "fedmsg - The Fedora Infrastructure Message Bus" [1]; the tool is named hovercraft [2]. Another nice tool is landslide [3].

In Pydown – An HTML5 presentation builder written in PythonI created Landslide (github.com/adamzap/landslide).
I found letslide.com a few weeks ago and have been wanting to contact and thank the creator. You did a great job with it.
We'll be talking more!

Landslide: https://github.com/adamzap/landslide
This looks like a good resource, cool!
My problem (and this is probably due to landslide) is that you can't easily navigate through the slides with a mouse or trackpad. You can scroll but it's very hard to accurately land on the slide you want. Prev/Next links would be nice!
In Ask HN: please review my project - Landslide on the webAsk HN: please review my project - Landslide on the web
Recently I used Landslide (https://github.com/adamzap/landslide) to create a presentation for a talk I gave. I thought it was really neat, but having to install it was an obvious barrier for a lot of users. So I decided to put it on the web. The result is LetSlide: http://letslide.com.
Please let me know what you think, which features of Landslide you would like to see made available and if and how you would use such a thing.
Thanks!
4 points · Open discussionThere are already options that support Markdown. Here is an example of one:
https://github.com/adamzap/landslide
Markdown isn't expressive enough for presentations so you end up having to use HTML anyway.
In Deck.js: A JavaScript library for building modern HTML presentations.I thought that too before I spent some time with a Markdown based presentation like Landslide:
https://github.com/adamzap/landslide
I found myself needing to "drop down" into HTML quite often as my slides were more complex then just the simple bullet point lists.
Markdown just didn't have the expressiveness I needed for a presentation. Markdown would be fine for a say a word document but there is more need for complex layout in a good presentation sometimes.
In Shower - nice cross browser presentation template
