Fellow conference speakers! I'm tired of posting my slides on Speakerdeck, I want to host them on my own website.

What awesome tools are there for doing this in a way that looks as close to Speakerdeck as possible? I'm thinking maybe an old-school JS slideshow viewer?

And to get this out of the way early, no I can't just switch to creating my slides in HTML. However I can rely on always being able to export them to PDF from whatever they're created in.

  I simply put the PDF on my site (jeroen.massar.ch/presentations/) often along with the keynote or ppt source, chrome and safari have working builtin pdf readers, people like to download and read offline and google/bing know how to index pdfs quite fine; vid is added (html video tag) too

  Oh, I see. Sorry. I've never thought about presenting PDFs as anything but a download, but TIL about PDF.js and friends. Guess it's a nice way to keep your website visitors "on your website", rather than redirecting them to their PDF viewer of choice.

  Yeah these things are definitely nice, but I should have clarified, I can't change the way I create the slides, I just want to be able to display PDFs on my site that way it doesn't matter how I created them

  I write my slides in Markdown and have Reveal.JS make them look fancy: revealjs.com/markdown/
