Looks interesting. I am on the hunt for clean tools for producing presentations. I really like Powerpoint, mainly because of their animation and vector editing features. However, I don't want to keep using a proprietary tool.

You could also try Hyperdeck which uses Markdown for slides as well, but supports most of the animation features of Powerpoint as well as MathML and stuff like that (no vector editing though)

If you're the coder/hacker type you might like Typst. It's a typesetting tool but it can create presentations too and I like it better than Powerpoint where I have to manually edit and align everything on every page to ensure a consistent style.
Fascinating. I did not know that you can create presentations with Typst
just use a canva template
Thanks, I did not know that you could use Canva for presentations. However, it is still proprietary software. (Worse, it lives on the web)
Work at a bank? That’s my reaction to 95% of the cool stuff I see every week.
No, I do not work at a bank. What do you mean?
Banks need to be secure and be able to uphold regulatory standards.
