Powerpoint sucks, especially online.

Reel is a little app we built to help people post mockups, sketches, wireframes, and entire presos (PDF or PPT) and get quick, thumbs up / thumbs down feedback. It wasn't enough to just show slides, we wanted to be able to view the preso, give feedback, and review feedback on any device.



Identical Templates

The slideshow view uses the same HTML templates across all devices, but what the user sees differs pretty substantially between desktop and mobile. We used Foundation's media queries built into mobile.css to seamlessly show the right content for each device.

Easy Organization

We use the grid to easily organize content without needing to set custom positions for each block. Using the "centered" class in particular for those high-impact center blocks helped keep the markup simple.

Next Steps: New App

That's not all - we're just getting started. We're working on Reel's big brother, a new app (also based on Foundation) that will include private presos, letting viewers add their own notes, and more! Stay tuned for details…
