What revealjs actually does
revealjs is a web-based framework that allows you to author slide decks using standard HTML markup. It relies on CSS and JavaScript to handle layout, transitions, and rendering directly in a web browser.
Best fit: Developers and technical writers who prefer writing documentation or slide decks in markup rather than using traditional graphical office suites.
Worth knowing: Creating and editing presentations requires manual markup editing rather than a visual WYSIWYG interface, which can slow down rapid iteration.
Deployment notes
Since it is a static JavaScript application, it typically requires only a basic web server to serve static files and a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
