A developer shares how switching to web-based presentations (Reveal.js and Slidev) opened the door to real-time audience interactivity. The result is slide-quiz, an open-source plugin that adds live audience quizzes—multiple choice with bar charts and free-text with word clouds—to web presentations. It uses WebSockets via AnyCable Plus (free tier, up to 2,000 connections) and deploys with a few serverless functions to Netlify or Vercel. A CLI (`npx create-slide-quiz`) handles setup, scaffolding, and optional deployment. Planned features include more question types, persistent results, and additional deployment targets.
