Deckset

Deckset has become one of my favorite apps ever. As someone who writes almost entirely in markdown and who makes a ton of presentations, this app just makes so much sense to me, and it speeds up the creation and design process to a pretty insane degree. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I was using Deckset since 3 years and I'm a beta tester for this new version, and I tell you that this version is amazing! Beyond the first version's features, now you can customise your presentation, change color, fonts, etc.. only for 1 slide or 2 o 3!

I think that this application is real fantastic and everyone makes slides and use markdown MUST to try it, you will never come back!!

I’m a teacher, and I’ve been making presentations for my classes for about two and a half years now. I’ve always felt like Powerpoint was a messy tool for the job. My ideas would inevitably get jumbled as I messed around with the design of the slides before I was finished writing them. A presentation should be logical and straightforward, but with PowerPoint I never felt like I had the ability to *make* the presentation in a logical and straightforward way. Then I found Deckset. With Deckset, not only can you write your slides without worrying about the design; you don’t ever have to worry about the design at all, beyond choosing a theme and deciding what heading style should accompany each line of text. No more resizing text boxes or moving around photos. Instead, you can just focus on the content. Sure, your design options are more limited than with PowerPoint, and in some ways I wish Deckset had more flexibility with slide layout, but their design options get the job done. In fact, it’s made me think that often too much emphasis goes into slide design instead of making the rest of your presentation good. (Just look at the bare-bones simplicity of the slides that accompany an Apple keynote. They don’t even use bullet points). At the end of the day, when I’m making a presentation, I’m going to choose Deckset over PowerPoint 9 times out of 10, because not only does it let me make presentations much quicker, it lets me make them without all the crap that usually accompanies that process.

I've been using Deckset since I found out about in 2015. It allows you to effortlessly create presentation slides from markdown text. My secret weapon when preparing for a talk!

I've been using Deckset for many years now and have participated in the beta for this version, and I totally love it. Thanks to Deckset I can focus on the content of my lecture and don't have to worry about the design. It just always looks good. In the new Version you can now easily change fonts and colors for better readability on this one special beamer ;).

Great job, v2 with massive improvements, good idea to NOT include an editor (there are hundreds!), some issues with Ulysses as an editor, tend ot think is my old 2.7.2 version
