Difference question #97

I have a question:

What's the difference between Jmpress.js and Impress.js other than the fact that Jmpress uses Jquery? Is there any improvements? What would make a person use this over Impress.js?

shama commented 11 years ago

Nested steps, viewports, templates to make positioning steps easier, custom animations, routing, presenter notes, ajax loading, key to action map. Pretty much all the features shown in the demo.

jmpress is bigger 42k (up to 62k with all features) plus jQuery vs impress.js which is only 32k. Our project goals are different. We implemented features requested on impress.js that Bartek didn't want. jQuery made it easier to implement those features.

In the end, it's up to the user. If you want the features and don't mind the extra weight, jmpress.js. If you want a simple and lightweight presentation tool, impress.js.

I see. Cool thanks.

Does impressionist use jmpress or impress? Does Strut use jmpress or impress?

Both are intended for impress.js, AFAIK. Although it's simple to make an impress.js presentation use jmpress.js, so it doesn't really matter, IMO.

Closing, please reopen if you have any more questions. Thanks!
