This looks cool. Looking forward to give it a try. For years I've been using Deckset[0] for all my presentations. Being able to just edit a text file to write and update slides is a massive advantage. I usually export them as pdf, which 99% of conferences are happy with. A big bonus is that you can now version control your slides, allow them to get forked, etc. If you're curious to see what those slides look like, check any of my previous talks [1].

I am huge fan of Deckset and use it for team internal presentations. Unfortunately, corporate identity is not something I could get working with Deckset. :(

Looking forward to your feedback. And: yes, deckset (as I learned today) sounds a lot like markdeck, feature-wise... I will have a closer look on that and compare these tools.

Deckset looks really nice. Wish they had a Linux version.

I love Deckset-- using it is like having presentation creation superpowers. But since it's OSX-only, I've moved to GitPitch, which is cross-platform and has the added benefit of hosting the slides. https://gitpitch.com/ https://gitpitch.com/

  I had to use gitpitch for one presentation only, so correct me if I am wrong, but with gitpitch you cannot see the resulting slides before you push them to the repo, right? We had more than 200 commits at the end of one day, 150 of them to solve minor layout problems... with a (feeled) round-trip-time of 10-20seconds, that became frustrating quite fast...

    you could squash those commits, but i agree it would be better not to have them. can you commit with --amend instead to avoid creating new commits every time?

      That wouldnt help, I am afraid: the web hook of gitpitch starts on push to the github repo, so you _really have_ to push your change...

        right, good point. didn't think of that. you can push after --amend but gitpitch may not work with that.

    If you pay for GitPitch Pro, you see your slides right away via GitPitch Desktop. (Plus the support from David is unparalleled.)
