I may join a session late (or dual task between the session and something else) and miss the slide and want to go back to it?

Also, what about preloading the slide for the next session? I don’t want to have to wait for the slides to load while the session leader is talking about them.

Other than that, great feature! I haven’t tried it out but I love the concept of Lernid.

Do they get the slides as well?</p> Hi Jono, I must say that Learnid is becoming a really nice app. I have a question, what about those who join the channel after the [SESSIONSTART] command?

It’d do something like this just below the presentation window:

[Left Arrow][Slide Number/Slide Number All][Right Arrow]

BTW Lernid is starting to look sweet! And it’s an awesome name :P

I kept quiet for two reasons (1) because I wasn't going to contribute a patch, and (2) I simply didn't think of the feature as something in Lernid.

I'm sure Jono welcomes feedback from educators on the features they would need before using this app.</p> Rather than stay quiet why didn’t you suggest your killer feature?

Just like the ubuntu sign or something. It would be nice for sessions that the leader didnt make slides for. Or else could it not show up until the leader sets where the slides are?</p> Can we make a default slide to show. Just like the ubuntu sign or something.
