Does it export to powerpoint? I have the same issue where my client wants weekly data driven decks and I’ve automated the data part but the presentation layer I offload to other people who often make mistakes copy/pasting or with the charts

However, my client still wants a .pptx that looks great because they then present it internally, and while the current workflow isn’t great it’s very cheap and effortless (for me, at least)

I use Quarto to automate slides creation and output as PowerPoint. You can even use a premade PowerPoint template so that the output slides are pretty much done.

That tool looks really cool! We hadn't come across that one before, but we did look into a lot of embedding solutions back when we were making these kinds of presentations regularly.

I think with Thorntale we're actually trying to take a slightly different route to a solution; being the actual presentation tool is going to unlock a lot of interactivity features that exporting to powerpoint probably can't ever do. Hopefully we'll be able to show some of those off after a few more months of dev!

Nice, I didn't know about it – I took a quick look at the templating options and it seems like it might do the job. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation, Quarto might be just what I've been looking for.

We do plan to add export as .pptx, .pdf, and to google slides.
