    Great feedback, this is a pain point I’ve been meaning to address.

    From now on we remember the last language you selected and use that as a default for any new code block you insert. When you reload the editor, we default to the language used in the first code block we find in the deck.

    Note that you’ll need to reload the editor to see this change.

  3. Add Elixir as one of the languages supported by syntax highlighting.

    Elixir is already supported by highlight.js.

  4. Disable iframe video in speaker view

    When using Speaker View on a slide with an iframe video set to autoplay, the video plays on both the speaker view and presentation view. This is particularly problematic due to the audio being doubled. I suggest not displaying the video in Speaker View. Instead display player controls. This would be helpful if not using autoplay.

    This has been fixed – autoplay is now ignored in the speaker view. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Feel free to submit a new idea if you also want to suggest the addition of video controls.

  5. modify lines to dashed or dotted

    I love that we can now draw a line, but it's helpful to make them dashed or dotted.

  6. borders on shapes

    I often use shapes like circles and squares to create a basic diagram, and it would be useful to add an outline, so that I can have a white or transparent box with a thin dark border.

  7. Change the wording in the color picker from "Less options" to "Fewer options"

    because "less" is used with non-countable nouns whereas "fewer" is used with countable nouns. Since "Options" is countable, it should be "Fewer options".

  8. Make it possible to set background-position

    Make it possible to set the background-position of a background image. In particular I need to be able to specify the equivalent of data-background-position='bottom right'

    Great idea. I needed a break from what I was doing so I went ahead and added this. Reload the editor and you should see this new option next to where you pick background size.

  9. Save latest code theme

    Save latest selected code theme like you already save code language.

    It will save users time and make UI more consistent.

    Good feedback, thanks. I’ve updated the theme selector to pick its defaults based on existing code blocks, just like language selector works.

  10. expand the speaker note canvas.

    I'm currently drafting them in a separate app and copying/pasting due to the limited window size.

    It would be wonderful to have more space along with toggle and export features as suggested by others.

    You’re right that the note input window was way too small. We’ve increased the size to more than double what it was previously.

    The plan is to make it possible to toggle the notes window on and keep it visible as you step between slides too, which I think will make for a much better workflow.

    Thanks for the feedback.

  11. Support reveal's lazy loading feature

    https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js#lazy-loading

    I use a lot of images and iframes, so this is essential. It ought to be the default (and maybe it is).

    We use reveal.js’ lazy-loading with the default viewDistance setting (3) for all Slides presentations. I don’t think it makes sense to expose viewDistance as a setting since it’s not something most people need to think about.

  12. Speaker notes react to user agent

    Tried using the speaker notes in VR (High Fidelity), but a problem is that Slides.com seem to react to the user agent of the browser in a way that makes it difficult to use the speakernotes. If the user agent contains "mobile" it seems to default to the mobile, touch screen, setting even if the screen is large.

    If there was a way to override the mobile version by using some kind of string in the url (like "?not-mobile") it would be possible to use the notes even on devices that happens to for some reason send the mobile user…

  14. BUG: Objects move when entering text box

    Suppose there's an object (e.g., arrow) directly below a text box containing LaTeX math stuff, in such a way that:
    when entering the text box to edit the text, the formula expands to the original LaTeX source, taking up more text lines than the formula itself.

    The textbox is made larger (expanded downwards), and the object directly below it is pushed down. When leaving the text box, the LaTeX source is replaced by the much shorter formula, the textbox shrinks, but the object below it doesn't return to the original position.

  15. Copy to clipboard from code snippets

    I show code snippets a lot, and it would be convenient for the audience to be able to have a copy-to-clipboard option. Yes, they can drag and select, but for larger code samples, that's awkward.

    This has been added 🚀

    If you hover over a code block anywhere outside of the editor, a blue Copy button will appear in the top right corner.

  16. Bug: Subscript and superscripts (sub/sup HTML tags) should make text smaller

    Using HTML editor on developer mode I add some sub and sup HTML tags, for example to add an exponent. The text is moved up/down but with the same font size. Maybe this Wikipedia text is helpful: "the superscript is about 60% of the original characters, raised by about 44% above the baseline".

  17. Better iframe error messaging

    Improve error messaging when embedding iframes into a deck.

    Right now, if I embed an iframe that causes it to not load via setting a bad X-Frame-Options value it shows the same message if the iframe fails to load because of a mixed content error (e.g. trying to embed an HTTP page inside a frame on an HTTPS page)

    Would be great if I this could be improved. Spent 15 frustrating minutes messing about with X-Frame-Options before I realised it was mixed content and the message was too generic!

    Thanks for reporting this Joe!

    We already had an error message in place for mixed content but it was being replaced by the X-Frame-Options message. We’ve changed it so that the mixed content error takes precedence.

    Let me know if you have any more comments on how that works.

  18. Don't darken background when the 'Slide background' menu is opened.

    https://gfycat.com/AnotherIllCirriped

    When I try to change the background colour I can't accurately see it until I close the menu. It darkens the slide and doesn't provide show the accurate colour.

    Thanks for the feedback. We’ve changed how this works so that only part of the screen is darkened while applying a slide background. Hope that helps!

  19. Export IFrame to PDF

    Hey,

    PDF exporting is great BUT...
    You lose all the Iframe content.

    Could it be possible to replace the Iframe content by it's URL when exporting a PDF ?
    And maybe by a screenshot of the iframe content? (a clickable screenshot...)

    So the reader would be able to reach the content, just clicking on it, rather than seeing a weird empty space...

    Thanks,

    Thanks for the feedback! We’ve added a fallback for iframes in PDF exports. If you try to export again you should see a link in place of the missing iframe.

    We’re not able to add screenshots of the page at this time but will consider that for a future improvement.

    Let us know if you notice any errors!

  20. Move/resize should be undo-able

    If you move an object or resize a text box that action should be on the undo stack.
