There's no need to make the text rotate in every single slide and why can't I just use the mouse to navigate? This UX is terrible.

I like the slideshow. Did you use a library for that? And is there a slideshow -> single page converter JS tool?

Yea, I used Bespoke.js (http://markdalgleish.com/projects/bespoke.js/). Bespoke has a really nice Yeoman generator (https://github.com/markdalgleish/generator-bespoke) that makes it easy to get started and to deploy to Github Pages.

In terms of the converting to PDF (to upload to Speaker Deck), it is recommended to just save the webpage to PDF in chrome or another browser that supports this feature (you can do this by beginning the print process and then changing to 'Save as PDF')

Bespoke has a print stylesheet, which is why the styles are still kept.
