Well done. That looks such obvious evolution of those many online markup editors such as dillinger, https://stackedit.io/, https://jbt.github.io/markdown-editor/ )

Well, not so obvious, after all because it never occurred to me up until I saw your site.

Again, very well done. I like also the catchy title "Create presentations as fast as you type"

Thank you! I'm a big fan of Markdown and tools like dillinger. And thanks for the feedback on the tagline. It's a bit of a mouthful, but I'm heartened that you like it.

So, at first glance, nothing appears on the page at all, unless you allow it to run Javascript.

Maybe you want to at least tell us something about yourself and what your site does, for those of us who run with Javascript turned off by default? Perhaps something that could maybe convince us to turn on Javascript and give it a try?

Secondarily, once I've used your site to create a presentation, how can I save or export that?

First, thanks for the pointing out the lack of a NOSCRIPT fallback. That's an embarrassing oversight because I usually browse without js enabled myself. That'll be corrected soon.

As for saving and exporting, my plan is to add integrations for Dropbox and Github and any other services that seem to make sense, as well as allowing downloading the presentation as a text file and exporting to Google Slides.

Do most websites usually work with JavaScript disabled?
