iA Presenter

Just like with iA Writer before, it's a bold and novel approach that soon feels so obvious that you wonder why it hasn't always been this way. It's such a no-brainer that a good presentation should be script first, slides last and yet for years presentation software has trained us to fiddle with slide designs and sqeeze in some speaker notes at the end. A great idea, expertly executed.

I found myself with a weekend to turn a blog post into a 30-minute presentation. Presenter tricked me into writing a good talk instead of letting me fiddle with slides for hours. The talk went great and, as a bonus, offering the audience text and PDF versions of the talk + slides was easy peasy.

Congratulations on the launch! After using iA Presenter in beta these past few months, I can't imagine going back to another presentation app. Nothing else looks as clean or elegant, nor do they make it as easy to compose and deliver a presentation.

This app transformed the way how I make presentations. Make your speech, not diagrams.

I quite like it despite not understading it in depth.
