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?

  5. tombray Says:

    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?

  7. mitch Says:

    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.
