Maybe you all love powerpoint for presentations, but sometimes one just needs to put together a few slides, perhaps a few bullets or images grabbed around the net, so i was wondering how hard would it be to do something that accepts a plain text file as input (without a ton of formatting) and lets you do a decent slide show, and supports editing the slides on the fly within the browser. Well, it's not too hard: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/sttp/ just 400 lines of javascript and 100 lines of css, plus your human-readable text. Have fun, it would be great if you could report how it works on fancy devices (iphone, ipad, androids...) as my testing platforms are limited to Firefox, IE and chrome (which unfortunately cannot save the edited file) cheers luigi
