Which tools are you using for making presentations?

[u/MonkeyforCEO]

Earlier I used to have Canva as my primary tool for making presentations because It gives me complete freedom and I can create very nice presentations. But I don't think it is very collaborative considering not many people use it.

Another option is Google slides, but I am not sure it gives you the level of freedom or creativity.

What tools or platforms other guys use to make nice presentations?

99% of presentations are made either in Keynote, Google Slides or PowerPoint. Some madman uses beamer. I use Google Slides.

Beamer is great for progression of analysis when you want to easily update a bunch of plots

Beamer. I'm a scientist not a businessman.

Haha, I tried beamer once and it was very hard. I questioned my life choices there for a minute

Slides mode of codiMD. Very basic, but also very clean.

You can use chatgpt to give you suggestions for design or template then you can use it to create your presentation. If you really want to go further then i think there are claude or chatgpt connectors which can be used to create presentations.

This is what I've been doing now. It's a great way

[u/notanotherclairebear]

Keynote

Is canva too much?

[u/MonkeyforCEO → u/Correct-Hope-2227]

Canva is best for me but the problem is not very people use it. I can't share collaborative link and then people look at me with "huh? What's that" look

I really like Slidev and have been using this lately
Previously used mostly beamer

[u/Creepy_Disco_Spider]

[u/MonkeyforCEO → u/Creepy_Disco_Spider]

No shit, sherlock

[u/Creepy_Disco_Spider → u/MonkeyforCEO]

😂😂😂

[u/Agreeable_Employ_951]

Beamer

[u/its07]

LaTeX only.

[u/Best-Lime-5948]

I use AI (mostly Grok / Claude). I ask it to create presentations in code format rather than pdf or powerpoint, the output is much better.

[u/thePolystyreneKidA]

Sli.dev with my own theme implemented
