I reshuffled the code on the server, so I can now stitch entire decks (I call them “stories”) together that you can download in one go. I think these stories can complement the offering of individual slides.

• Slide templates are focussed on one particular design or image that cover a certain topic

• Story templates are all about well, the story. I expect them to contain mainly very simple slide layouts, what matters is what is written in them, and in what sequence they are put together.

I am starting with a quick make-over of the YCombinator seed deck, you can download it for free here. See the original post on YC for the background.

It is available both as a .pptx and a .magic file, but it with these simple slide layouts where the power of SlideMagic comes in: quickly adding or deleting rows without messing up your slide layout. You know which I would pick :-)

There is still work to do, you can’t get to the stories easily from the top slide menu. Also, the user interface can be confusing now when as a user you are not sure whether you are browsing slides or stories. Also, in-app story downloads are not your implemented . Work in progress.
