I love Keynote, but when I give presentations I always end up switching between Keynote and my web browser to demonstrate things. It’s cumbersome. One of you is going to build an Apollo-based knock-off of Keynote and I want you to make it so that I can drag an HTMLControl onto my slides and display web pages directly inside my presentation instead of switching back-and-forth. I’d build this myself, but I’m too busy working on this. The idea is free, just give me a copy of the final app when you’re done. Get to work!

In my Keynote (ver 3.0.2) there’s Insert > Web View. But you want content that you can interact with inline, while presenting?

Exactly, Erki. Apollo’s HTMLControl makes that possible (and easy). It’s basically like having a browser built into your presentation slide.

Mitch, how close are you to releasing the private beta? Days, weeks, months?

I’m hoping we can start the private beta by the middle of June - so about 3 weeks. Almost all of the functionality that is intended for the initial release is done so now it’s all clean up, bug testing, and GUI work.
