The short version
What happened to Swipe presentations?
Swipe is gone. The swipe.to domain now redirects to a GoDaddy for-sale page, and tool trackers list the product as discontinued, with no export path for old decks.
Swipe was a web app for making and presenting slides that your audience followed live on their own devices. It was founded in 2012 by Horia Cernusca and Håkon Eide, started in Oslo and later moved to London. It showed an alpha at The Next Web's Startup Rally in April 2013, opened a public beta that November, and relaunched in 2015 with backing from Passion Capital and Playfair Capital and new pro plans for businesses.
Bottom line: do not go to swipe.to expecting the app. For live, shareable slides today, look at Pitch, Google Slides, Prezi or Canva in our presentation software category.
