Very, very nice. His presentation library is available as well! https://codesurfer.pomb.us/ https://github.com/pomber/code-surfer/blob/code-surfer-v2/re...

That is a fantastic presentation. It reminds me of the annotated source/site that backbonejs used to have, but this one is interactive. Really great job!

Would love to try this sometime, as a side note, I love the scroll functionality on the left. Makes for a great code presentation.
