to be honest I think going for the generic PDF to HTML slides tool is a better idea though as it means I could export a PDF slide deck from anywhere even LaTeX or Powerpoint or whatever that Mac slides tool is called

it also means your user doesn’t need to know how to export credentials and all that shizzle, as they’ll just export the PDF themselves in the same place where they made the slides in the first place

this is certainly way simpler

and makes it more useful as well, as it’s not tight to a single technology, but instead can handle any kind of slide deck

makes it a lot less technical as well, because for example nowhere you explain what this ID is. I doubt that a none technical person knows what the ID of a google slides is and how to find it

sure we can say it’s in the URL 😛 but it’s yet another thing you have teach a user, that is usually pretty lazy by nature

either way, I do think that PDF is the only way to go sadly, as I don’t see another way to preserve format, while still allowing text selection and links. SVG would not be a solution as text that is not converted to shapes might not preserve format, and when converted to shapes to preserve format it is no longer something the browser can understand as text.
