280 North

280 North is a Y Combinator funded company 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.

In February 2009, the company announced Atlas, a visual layout editor and development environment for building web applications with Cappuccino, the company’s open source JavaScript-based web development framework.
