There’s already some kind of speaker notes format available:

<section class="slide">
    <h2>Inline Elements</h2>
        <p>Retro meh brunch.</p>
        <footer class="footer">
            <p>Semiotics four loko street art asymmetrical.</p>
    </footer>
</section>

You can put some text into <footer> of your slide at rehearse it in the list mode by hovering slides. You can try it in Ribbon theme demo.

Not the best solution, but at least something. There used to be shower-notes plugin for showing notes and slide title in console, which could be detached and opened in a separate window. But it’s not maintaned and never got any usage.

So I don’t think that separating slides from notes is a good idea. It would make it harder to change slides order, etc. As for the actual interfrace that would show previous slide, timer and speaker notes, it’s just a question of time. I have some mockups and it would be the next priority right after we finish moving plugins to ES modules (using Rollup) instead of custom module system.

Nice! Looking forward to that!

I wouldn’t keep the notes separate; I’d write a tool that extracts them and puts them into a separate file.

The special interface that would show previous slide, timer and speaker notes sounds like a really awesome feature!

@pepelsbey, could you please provide any updates about plans regarding this feature?

@shurph we haven’t started working on this yet. The next big priority after 3.0 release will be the touch-friendly interface, the next one could be the presenter mode.
