This will be so much better still once it gets some touch event support added in, so mobile browsers user are not left out in the cold.

The current first two slides (which are all you can squint at on, say, an iPhone) currently produce the wrong kind of reaction to an iOS visitor, for instance. Presentations in modern browsers also includes modern devices, and a traditional limit of old-style presentations has been this strong "desktop" dependency.

I think implementation-wise it could be as simple as a `touchstart` handler which does "next" for right-half-of-viewport clicks and "previous" for left ditto, but even something crude that just does "next" only without conditional logic would improve this a lot.
