When I looked at it, I was like, "huh .. it's a lot like reveal.js" and then I looked carefully at the README and it is reveal.js, with extensions/mods.

I've used reveal.js for a while. I found it most useful when I did presentations for multiple meetups on the same open source project. I created a little build tool that let me re-use slides for Ruby, Scala and Python meetups (the service was written in Scala, client in Python and devops was all Ruby, but that's since been migrated to Docker):

Tools like this are great if you have several similar presentations. Some of the additions in Markdeck are things I've kinda hacked in (like terminal output players). Still with a recent presentation where I did everything from scratch, I used the same build process and found it felt a bit much for something that didn't require the shared-slides use case and I wondered if I would have just saved time writing it in a GUI/WYSIWYG tool like OpenOffice or Powerpoint.
