Nice!
Back in the day I made GistDeck, which made presentations from Markdown in a gist via a bookmarklet.

I like sent. You write in a text file, each paragraph being one slide. Idk how it handles gift but it supports images. It's very simple and limited in features, but if it fits your needs then it's as simple as it gets.
