@zee Thanks a lot for you encouraging comment! Would love to learn more about what you particularly like, and what is particularly limiting in this version – this would help a lot in the prioritization of the next developments. Thanks!
"Error: No matching parser for bookmark block." ... ?
"TypeError: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined"...?
Has anyone of the enthusiast hunters that praised the service ever tried it? Did anybody figure this is dependent on another (hunted) app, Notion.so? Just asking for a friend.
@utestme@Hi Onutz, yes this first version supports a very limited set of blocks. Can you share with us some of the pages you tried? It would be super helpful.
Love it! Just used it for a hackathon. The only thing I'd need is the ability to add images/gifs and I'd probably use this very regularly.
I realize incorporating images is probably difficult from a design perspective
Haha, you did my christmas project. Alright mates, now I need to spend time with the family it seems. Beautifully executed. Well done! Love to hear more about future dev on this - keep the fire burning ✌️
@janet_alexandersson Thanks Janet, we see a lot of potential too even if this is a super early version. Would love to hear your ideas, if you have a few minutes to write them down :)
@robi I would appreciate greater control over the branding by being able to choose the specific hex color. I also would love the option of adding hyperlinks, gifs, videos, and so on. The use case I have in mind is as a newsletter add-on/replacement where the content is presented in an interactive format. Probably far from what you had in mind :)
Hello Product Hunt! 👋
@etienn and I are passionate about helping people design great things. Observing our co-workers, we realized that crafting presentations is often a painful process: it's hard to make great looking and engaging slides. The results are often not that great, or take way too much time.
So here's our very first take at this problem: what if we could let people focus on content, and let the machine take care of the design? We decided to build upon the amazing Notion. Here's the result: you can turn any Notion page into an engaging and beautifully designed presentation.
This is our first iteration, so here are some limitations:
- Each heading block starts a new slide,
- It can be followed by one text block (optional).
We'll add support for other blocks (images, lists…) later on. We also have many ideas for more themes, master slides, and even our own editor… but first we'd love to hear your feedback!
Hope you have fun trying the tool. Talk soon on Product Hunt or Intercom!
What fun! Great job Etienne and Sébastien 👏Would love to get updates on the evolution of this. Also, where are you based? I'm hosting Notion meetups in NYC.
Reminds me a lot of Deckset 2 :)
✅ SnackThis is different and could be better because it generates a unique URL for each presentation and work with Notion, so everything is backed up online and easily editable by a team of people.
❌ The drawbacks are that
• it doesn't have a lot of themes (and I don't understand why you chose to place all the text on the bottom left of each slide and leave the rest of the page empty)
• doesn't support images and/or image backgrounds like Deckset does.
@anna_0x The approach is very similar to Deckset indeed, thanks for your feedback! Yes, we need to expand on the themes (as for the empty space, it's a design trick to make things look better) and add support for rich media. We had a lot of feedback about the themes and animations, so we decided to experiment with a dedicated tool, before reintegrating everything in the presentation software use case: SnackThis Text Animator. Would love to hear your feedback!
Great idea! I tried a few of my notes and non of them really work well in presentation format as is, but if I am intentional about writing notes that are intended for a presentation then I could easily see me using this as a way to present meeting notes, ERG meetings, family meetings, etc. This is a win in my book!
@alisa_smelkova Thanks Alisa! Is there any feedback you'd like to share already? I'm sure there are many things we could do better to serve your needs :)
@justin_rockmore Hey Justin, thanks for your message! The idea was to create a “snackable” version of a longer document instantly, hence the “snack this [url / document]” name :)
I love the idea, and I'm rather excited to see it expanded upon:
A few things I'd love to see:
- Support for at the very least bullets & images!
- Perhaps a slightly larger word size (but I type to much lol)
- Manual/on click transitions
- A few more these would be nice, but not a deal breaker!
Either way, I'm hoping to see you guys continue to grow!
@lui_kohl Thanks for your suggestion! Indeed there are many things we need to add, and this is one of them. We'd also love to hear how this fits into your workflow, and what doesn't work well for you yet with this early version!
@daghan_ozdem Thanks for your comment Daghan, indeed we have in mind the ease of use / speed at which you can pull up a great-looking presentation – would love to hear any other use case you have in mind!
