Comment on Impress.js - a Prezi like implementation using CSS3 3D transformations

"WARNING

impress.js may not help you if you have nothing interesting to say ;)"

Although said in jest, this struck me as poignant. I feel that many of us spend a disturbingly large amount of time researching, downloading and "hello world"ing all of these pretty well-marketed tools, but most of us still haven't figured out what we're going to build with them.

Opiate for the hackers. I plead guilty.

I actually don't see that process as a bad thing.

What you're doing is basically learning the tool, and its capabilities. Next time you need a CSS3 transformation plugin tailored for presentations, you'll be able to say "hey, I remember there's this impress thing that I tried once and it's exactly what we need".

The process can be a very bad thing if it does not terminate at some point.

Don't forget to use your skills to actually build stuff!

Generally true, but for me this little gem is replacing powerpoint for client pitches.
