I wonder what's with all the negative response… OK, Jmpress.js depends on jQuery and has narrower browser support than Impress.js. Yet it makes little sense to compare a JavaScript presentation framework to ‘a jQuery plugin to build a website on the infinite canvas’. These are different things.

Perhaps the whole issue is with the naming and the fact that one was based on another's code.

I completely agree with you. I tried it yesterday it is completely simple to use.

I definitely think that it is the right way to name it Jmpress.js, so he doesn't take any credit from the inventor.
