responsive export presentations
embebed export presentation to be responsive
1 voteThe presentation inside of the embedded iframe is already responsive. However you the embedding site will need to use CSS to resize the iframe element based on viewport size and layout.
In some cases it might be enough to change the “width” attribute in the embed code to 100%.

Possibility to export speaker notes (within the pdf export of the slides)
1 voteThis is now supported through the new “Share notes” option. Find out more here: http://help.slides.com/knowledgebase/articles/729753-sharing-decks-with-speaker-notes

Support 16:9 slide aspect ratio
At conferences, most stages now have a 16:9 aspect ratio. It would be really great if slides will support authoring decks in that format (+ export).
166 votesThis has been added!xx You can now select from multiple different aspect ratios in the presentation settings. It’s even possible to define your own custom resolution.

Allow *background* image source to be a URL
Much like http://help.slides.com/forums/175819-general/suggestions/6287609-allow-image-source-to-be-a-url-instead-of-upload but for background images too.
11 votesWe allow you to set background images from URL now. Look for the small link icon in the header of the window that appears when you’re prompted to select a background image.

Make all fragment styles reveal.js offers available in slides.com
I've got text that I want to show it changes over time by layering each version of the text on top of each other and use fragment to transition between them. It would be nice to select from all the available fragment styles reveal.js has (http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/#/7/1) but I'm most in need of the
current-visiblestyle.10 votesIt’s now possible to select from multiple different fragment styles using the Slides editor. We included support for most (but not all) reveal.js fragment styles. More info and examples here: http://slides.com/news/fragment-styles

add support for Wistia embedded videos (specifically AutoPlay feature)
You offer AutoPlay for YouTube and Vimeo only, while Wistia, being a well known runner up, doesn't offer one.
Sure, you could use parameter ?autoPlay=true, but Slides.com does not play nicely with that and starts playing all iframes as soon as presentation loads, instead of when entering slide.
That bug is solved by using the provided AutoPlay feature, which is currently not offered for Wistia.

Ability to rotate elements
It'd be great if there was an option to not only resize, but also rotate elements (eg images, text boxes etc.)
187 votesThis has been added! Now you can grab any corner of a selected element to rotate it. The angle is displayed in the toolbar so that you can apply the same rotation to multiple elements or set a specific number.
Here’s a quick screen recording showing how it works: http://static.slid.es.s3.amazonaws.com/support/rotation.gif

Allow the user to select multiple items
It would be useful to be able to command-click to select more than one object at a time. I have been trying to make some cool shapes, but sadly I have to remake them every time I create a new slide piece by piece!

Ability to add directed lines and arrows
I would love the ability to add simple lines with arrowheads to point from one element to another on my slides.
I am requesting this here because there really is no simple workaround. Users are forced to paste an image of a line with a 38° tilt and an arrowhead.
Of course, no line tool would be complete without dashed and dotted styles. Thank you for considering this suggestion.
82 votesYou can now add directed lines and arrows through the new line content block!

full navigation control for remote control
While using phone as remote control would be nice to have the horizontal AND vertical controls...sometimes I use vertical slides as optional stuff I might want to skip...with remote it just plays them all.
1 voteThanks for the feedback.
It’s actually already possible to navigate both horizontally and vertically using the remote control view. Try swiping in the direction that you want to navigate. Tapping on the other hand steps through all slides in the presentation, both vertical and horizontal.

Add YAML to the list of languages for syntax highlighting (code editor)
YAML's pretty common these days, I was surprised it isn't there.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately this isn’t possible since YAML isn’t supported by the syntax highlighting library that we’re using (highlight.js).
UPDATE: YAML is now supported by highlight.js and available in the Slides editor.

Better quality for PDF export
Could we choose the PDF export quality (in pro version) ?
For now, the assets (images) are really poor quality :/8 votesPDF export quality has been greatly improved and all font families and styles will now come through in the output.
We replaced our whole PDF generation pipeline with new software. This change means that quality is higher and presentations will look identical to how they do in a modern browser (Safari 8 to be specific).
This also applies to deck thumbnails.

Accept speaker notes from imported html file
given the <aside class="notes"> block used by reveal.js, it should be straightforward to accept speaker notes from imported html file, at least for the first 300 characters of the notes in each slide.
Very surprised that accepting also the speaker notes from an imported file is not supported!
3 votesThis has been added. Going forward, imports will convert notes to Slides’ notes storage format.

Export HTML Including Assets for Offline
HTML export into ZIP file with all assets such as images, JS, CSS, fonts, etc. The current HTML export only gives you the HTML where the assets are still online. I would still need the internet to run it.
8 votesZIP download is now available in the editor Export panel! The downloaded archive includes all of the JS, CSS and images required for full offline access. This also provides a neat package for those who want to host their own content.
This feature is only available for Pro and Team users.

Image Library
Uploads Library. It would be nice to have a section where I can see and manage images I have uploaded. This would be great to re-use my own images on different presentations without having to upload multiple times.

Remove the character limit on speakers notes.
Or at least raise the limit. 200 characters is debilitatingly small. It significantly reduces the usefulness of the tool!
5 votesThis limit has been raised to 300 characters. More info in the comments.

Add custom css selectors to elements
I would love the ability to be able to name elements with that name being applied to the presentation element (including the slide background) as a css class selector.
The purpose for this being to apply individual transitions & animations with CSS to specific elements only, for instance I may which to cycle the slide background color through a range of colors.
To save on system resources this would only apply to the present slide e.g.
.present.customSelector {
/* Apply custom css */
}
9 votesThis is now supported! Turn on the developer mode and you’ll have access to easy inputs for specifying CSS classes.
Classes can be added to individual elements within a slide or to the slide itself. Classes added to a slide also bubble up to its background element.
