Missing from markdown/web based slides is a way to auto resize text content to fit on a page, like powerpoint does. I didn't find a way to manage this correctly with reveal, remark or marp and from what I'm seeing, slidevjs won't do it either.

That's why I stick with Deckset (paid) [1] even though it has its share of bugs and limitations. I like it because I can write some basic semi-ugly slides in a fraction of the time it takes me in Powerpoint, as it's really just markdown, having to fiddle with JavaScript at all would make that moot, let alone for absolute basics like fit content to slide. Also, the themes it ships with are ok-ish.

It’s too bad it doesn’t export to PowerPoint. I’d like to be share with other coworkers who only know ppt. Nice that it exports to read only but that limits how slides can be reused.
Good question, have run into the same problem of sizing/positioning issues. Usually can just manually tweak so it will be okay on typical sizes for presentations, but not optimal.
