Blankenship blogged about Plainview. Gruber blogged about 280slides. I decided to see how it would work putting the two together.

The result is a little slow on my 2006 Macbook Pro, but the concept and the possibilities are pretty amazing. Combining the two tools, you have a (so far) totally free solution for creating and presenting slide shows by way of a web-based tool and a small desktop application. Both Plainview and 280slides only released this week, so there’s plenty of room for improvement, but they each seem to be off to good starts.
