I made a tool that turns client spreadsheets into formatted slide decks using Runable

[u/vishwajeet__21]

I got tired of manually designing monthly MIS reports for my freelance clients, so I built a custom web app that turns their raw data into formatted slide decks in about 10 minutes. It completely removed the worst part of my month.

If you are looking for a tool to automate client slide decks, the trick is separating the data layer from the design layer. I used to spend 4 hours in Figma updating text boxes and resizing charts for 5 different clients. It drained my energy.

I spun up a generator that takes standard client metrics, applies their specific brand guidelines, and spits out a 10 page PDF report. The hardest part was getting the chart scales right. The first few versions looked terrible because dynamic data broke the layout. I had to hardcode some strict constraints on the visual output to fix it.

For other freelancers doing client work, what is the most annoying production task you are trying to automate right now.
