Write down your thoughts in your favourite text editor, and Deckset will turn them into beautiful presentations. New in 2: Create your own themes.
I’ve used Deckset for 3 or 4 years and it is my single most loved software product.
Pros:Super fast amazing looking presentations. 100% wow factor over Keypoint and Powernote.
Cons:Need to design complex charts and tables outside the app and include screenshots.
I'm a happy user of the paid version of Deckset. After using Keynote for more time than I can remember, I've opted for the simplicity of using markdown and having bold text rather than fine control over placement of graphical elements that Keynote will provide.
My presentations for the last 12 months have all been done either with Deckset (for the screen) or with Google Slides (for collaboration) with super simple templates. If you look at my Slideshare you can tell that wasn't always the case ;-)) https://www.slideshare.net/matte...
Pros:Simple, fast, to the point
Cons:A bit of a learning curve to place images
This is my go to app to create my classes, I was looking for this for quite sometime. I tried reveal dabbled with beamer but this is much simpler for me and looks better out of the box.
You work on simple .md text files, at first this might seem backwards but the time you save by not having to go around poking in menus is amazing.
Pros:No clutter, simple, good looking
Cons:Lack of options to position images/graphics
fantastic and minimalistic. great for putting together slides at the last moment ;-)
Pros:simple to use, create elegant presentations, easy export function
Cons:none
I've prepared some presentations with the tool already and loved the experience
Pros:Build beautiful and minimal slides fast with Markdown
Cons:Maybe the lack of features, but which is also a good thing - being not bloated and minimal
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 ;).
Pros:I make all my slides with Deckset for the lectures I give at University and this software saved me priceless hours of my life!
Cons:Not for my use case :)
It's great for presentation where the knowledge, content you want to share is important mostly. Deckset makes it easy to focus WHAT you want to share and don't distract by details of making something pixel-perfect.
I think it's very good for developers.
PS version 2 gives a possibility to customise a templates a bit which is very useful to create presentation with a company brand colors/fonts
Pros:Making a presentation quickly
Cons:not as powerful as keynote/powerpoint (but it doesn't mean to be)
In the past I've mostly used `Keynote` and switched to deckset half a year ago.
It really reduces the time I spend on making presentations and time is what we all could have more off!
Pros:focus on the essentials, good code-highlighting, fast creation of slides
Cons:sometimes I missing visual layout options for graphics
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
Pros:Fast, easy, focus-on-content presentation design, very easy to update, improve, customize deliveries as only a markdown file needs editing
Cons:having to "migrate" many ideas/ppts/keynotes to deckset :D
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!!
Pros:make slides in few time!
The presentations are are beautiful and you can insert image, video and other stuff in no time.
use markdown
Cons:You could get issue if you want an exact position for text or image.
I want iPad version!!!!!
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.
Pros:Now it's both simple AND customizable! I've got so much love for this app.
Cons:The only con was that you couldn't customize styles in the first version.
Improvement Idea :
Toggling between documentation/examples and the editor can be tedious for beginners. An integrated editor with snippets to drop in-place would be nice for Deckset 3 :)
Pros:Fast turnaround thanks to context sensitive live preview; helps you concentrate on contents; helps you keeping slides clean and beautiful
Cons:None for my use cases : Short to medium sized presentations;
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!
Pros:Magically creates presentation slides from markdown! The best way to prepare for a talk.
Cons:Not as many options as Powerpoint, but that's what makes it amazing! Deckset forces you to think about your message.
