Building beautiful presentations is hard. Often you're stuck with Keynote or PowerPoint, and the templates are extremely limited and generic. Well ...

I really love reveal.js. I haven't spoken in a while so I haven't used it. I've always used their themes and never thought about making my own. This is probably super useful for company presentations, too. I'm SO over google slides. Trying to format code in those is a nightmare LOL
Yeah it is time consuming, but the result is much better
The best thing in this - and now I'm not being ironic - is that while you work on a not so much technical task - creating a presentation - you still have to code. And the result is nice.
On the other hand, I know what my presentation skills teachers would say. Well, because they said it... :) If you really want to deliver a captivating presentation, don't use slides at all. Use the time to prepare what you want to say.
I'm not that good - yet, but taking their advice, if must I use few slides, with little information on them and with minimal graphical distractions. My goal is to impress them by what I say, not is what behind my head.
I'm going to a new training soon, where the first day we have to deliver a presentation supported by slides at a big auditorium and the next day we have to go back and forget about the slides and just get on stage and speak. I can't wait for it.
How about github.com/team-fluxion/slide-gazer?
It's my fourth attempt at creating a simple presentation tool to help one present ideas quickly without having to spend time within a presentation editor like Microsoft PowerPoint. It directly converts markdown documents into elegant presentations with a few features and is still under development.
Yup, RevealJS is awesome!
Previously I either used PPT or Google Slides. One is a paid license and the other requires an internet connection.
The cool thing about it is that since it's just

I actually just used it to present a talk this week!
Great article, Emma! I love Reveal and this is a great write up for using it!
Thank you!
I think its a coincidence 😅
I was just starting to think to use reveal.js and suddenly you see this post 🤩
Check out slides.com If you want to skip the heavy lifting and/or use a presentation platform based on reveal.js.
Everything is still easy to customize. The platform provides a UI to work from and an easy way to share your stuff.
BTW - I have no affiliation with slides.com, or even a current account. I used the service a few years back when I regularly presented and wanted to get over PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.
Well I guess you get to look ultra pro by skipping the moment where you have to adjust for display detection and make sure your notes don’t show because you plugged your display connector in 😩
But If the conference has no wifi then we’re screwed I guess
I like Reveal, but I still have not moved past using Google docs slides because every presentation I do has to be done yesterday. Hoping that I can use Reveal more often this year as I get more time to work on each presentation.
Well this is nice and I haven't tried it maybe because I haven't spoken much in meet ups but I think PowerPoint is still much better than going all these steps and what if I have network connection issues that day then I'm scrolled right?

Making a slide is pretty simple. Just add a HTML section.

Awesome post! I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes libraries. 😎
Fantastic post. I just loved it.
Awesome introduction! I feel like I need to give this a try the next time I create a presentation.
Beautiful content,
The link to the presentation you said you did using this method is now working..."How To Build Kick-Ass Website: An Introduction To Front-end Development."
