@moss slides.com has crossed my path before, but it's never been worth $5/month to me. Really want an #opensource tool for this

@moss I hadn't realized the old PowerPoint export to HTML had gone; I embed mine on WordPress from OneDrive but then can't delete them. WordPress has a native PDF embedder, though, so you might export a flattened slide deck as a PDF and embed it. You could also print with notes (at least on PPT) tho the template splits the presenter notes and slides 50/50, which isn't great. It looks more like a slide deck if you exclude the notes.

@moss@kind.social There are loads of slide show plugins for Wordpress. I don’t have a particular recommendation but there are many to choose from.

@moss I wrote up this comparison document a while ago with text documents as first priority, so most of the headers aren't filled in for slides/presentations, but if they're present they're at least offered by the software in question. Top-level details should indicate whether they're free and whether they have collaboration/sharing functionality. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O3QsPC_oo3FzT267CrD9ozA7IsscsEqQfkDmzTI2emc/edit?usp=sharing

@moss If you don't mind no presenter notes (or well you could have them but they would be visible on the screen) you can actually export a slide show to a pdf and with preview if you use a mac there is a "slideshow" option under view. Not 100% adobe acrobat has that option, but for really, really important talks I was taught to always export as a pdf because you can load that onto any computer and have slideshow assuming you don't have necessary animations or videos or something. If it's just for after the talk I've gone to plenty of things were you get get handed a pdf of the powerpoint export with the presenter notes and honestly that's pretty much what I want?

@moss maybe in the suite of LibreOffice there is something? I only tried one slide show presentation. I was able to save a Libre Office Impress file, show it during a meeting, and export the file as a power point format for emailing to others who wanted it. If you want everything self-contained on your computer, this is an option I like.
