Dear Matt, in my opinion your design or furthermore your code got stolen to an commercial product.

Please study these pages: https://prezi.com/

I only wanted to highlight this, because i also think that they're blocking or disabling strut.io for some users.

Yours

Prezi came before Impress.js, which in turn is what Strut uses. Therefore, technically, Impress.js would have gotten its ideas from Prezi (not sure if it actually did), not the other way around.

Please do your research next time before making these claims...

Actually impress.js still mentions that it is "inspired by the idea behind prezi.com"
https://github.com/impress/impress.js

So yes, definitely similarities, but the inspiration goes the other way :)

what you re telling is completly nonsense.
prezi is closed source, how could someone copy closed source?

pls think twice before you write

The fact is simply that Impress.js was inspired by Prezi, not the other way around. Being closed source has nothing to do with it; you don't have to be able to access the code in order to be able to use similar ideas.

Prezi came out in 2009. Impress.js's first Git commit was on December 28, 2011.

Instead of demanding that your opinion is completely valid, it would be more productive to look at the facts. Prezi came out before Strut (and the library Strut uses, Impress.js). Don't go around making inaccurate claims if you're not going to be open to having your mind changed.

I think he's trolling. Bug closed.
