Wow, what a nice surprise to see my creation on HN.

To all the critics, I built this to be a slide deck on responsive web design, not a responsive website itself. Its main purpose is for me to launch full screen on Chrome and show on a projector or tv. Its for educating my co-workers on the subject (haven't even had a chance to actually give a presentation yet). Can I at least get some points for using rem's? That's pretty cool, right? haha

Anyway, I did this over my winter break - as well as creating Scrollorama and scrolldeck.js and taking care of a new baby (yay! my 2nd son was born dec. 6). Thanks for checking out my stuff. Hope it is useful for some of you!

By the way, I'm currently rebuilding this using Bartek Szopka's excellent impress.js framework. http://bartaz.github.com/impress.js

Just pushed an update that should help the performance a bit. (thanks eivindbekk/John Resig)

Yeah, but I get what the detractors are saying. Its like Uncle Ben said, "With great power, comes great responsibility."

How about this one? http://gidsy.com/handbooks/making-the-perfect-listing/

Yeah, I pushed it a bit with that one for sure, but I just couldn't resist, haha

Well I worked previously as a Flash dev, so guilty as charged, haha

Personally, I always hated the overdone Flash stuff as well. And the scrolly stuff can get out of hand, that's for sure, but sometimes it is really cool. Ben The Bodyguard is a good example.

Fixed the scrolldeck link, thanks. That's another plugin I made that is for making html slide deck presentations (similar to deck.js or reveal.js) and uses Scrollorama for navigation and animations.

To fix the jerkiness, I could animate the css props but that would probably cause quite a performance hit. If anyone wants to fork it and make improvements, please feel free!
