    Guys I am so excited to use this service when Summer quarter begins in a few weeks for college. Finally I will be able to do nice looking presentations without having to purchase expensive software like with Office 2008.

    Congrats on the launch and I am already spreading the word!

    Wow, this looks amazing. When will the source code for 'objective-j' be released? It looks really interesting

    Excellent implementation idea. It works right out of the box (window!!). Looking forward to more good stuff - Nice to see you are using a Drupal blog.
    Cheers

    Wow! That's all I can say.

    This is the most amazing web app I've used this year. It's beautiful, a cinch to use, and really, really addictive.

    Congratulations to you all!

    Why not just toss Objective J out there, and garner additional feedback from the web development community at large? Release early, release often, etc.?

    Well as for feature requests:

    Math integration would be very nice. Ideally I would like to type LeTeX and have it translated to MathML in the slides. If browsers are not compatible with MathML, then even bitmap format, but keeping the text source in metadata, allowing to re-generate the picture after scale or simply change the equation later.

    Very very impressive.

    Now, release the damned code already :D

    Seriously though, this is amazing, great app. But what's even more amazing is that you've implemented the Cocoa framework into a new language. Even Apple balked at that. Seriously, you rock!

    Pweeese pweese pwetty pweease make an X-Code plugin to do all this. That'd make it so absurdly easy to integrate everything..
    Imagine, build your Cocoa app, start a new project in XCode (an Obj-J one), a little tweaking and BAMM!, one web-app ready to go with desktop cousin as well.

    That would rock on many, many many levels....
