280 North is a Y Combinator funded company that will debut with a web-based PowerPoint clone called 280 Slides that strives to mimic the desktop experience and features the ability to export presentations to PowerPoint format. The founders’ longer term goals consist of providing a JavaScript-based development framework for building desktop-like applications for the web. None of these services, however, have been launched yet.
280 Slides is an online Powerpoint Presentation tool that implements the powerpoint format and claims and a near ‘desktop’ experience. It includes all kinds of shape manipulation, as well as easy embedding from YouTube.
