Sessionfire is available as public beta

Some of you might know, Matthias and myself are working on a new kind of presentation tool, called Sessionfire. After a period of private alpha testing we are pretty happy that it has left this period just a few days ago and started its public beta stage. So everybody is invited to grab a copy of it and give it a try. Its not open source (maybe it will be some day in the future), but its free to download and free to use (as well as the next beta builds).

The current beta version has a quite limited set of features, so you don't get a replacement for your favorite presentation tool right away. We start with something small, far far away from being feature complete, move forward in small steps while always trying to do something useful in a gorgeous way. So you won't be able to create your presentation completely with Sessionfire at the moment, for example. But you can run your show with Sessionfire, using images, animations, timers, three-dimentional optics, reflections, visual fast-forward and -backward, different 3D-layoutings and some more stuff.

Try it! - Enjoy it!
