There's also the closed-source iA Presenter[0], which makes some great-looking slides. It's paid and Mac-only though.

I use Quarto with reveal.js and love it. I teach and particularly like the multiplex plugin[1] to sync the presentation on multiple devices. My students can open it on their laptops and I control the changing of the slides, but they can click on links or interact with the presentation themselves.

I really like these presentation-as-code tools in principle, but in practice I find that they can be a bit limiting. However, I haven't used them enough for this to be anything more than a general sense. Does anyone have an opinion on this?

I really like reveal.js, you can use all the modern web technologies in your slides and it provides you with all you need (including speaker notes).

Even if your presentation runs offline the browser is really good place for presentations to live at. E.g. I can include live circuit simulations on slides using circuit.js and if a student asks whst would happen to the output of a signal processing circuit if there was one more component I can just add it. If a question shows up that isn't in there I press ctrl + t and search for an image or a wikipedia article on the topic.

The only thing one has to think about is maybe to create a "clean" browser profile for presentations so your suggestions and personal things don't show up mid presentation.

pandoc has a reveal.js backend which I use it to build my slides from markdown (with a few ad-hoc inline css tweaks)

Quarto is also nice and builds on top of reveal.js for slides

My first time seeing presenterm, very cool. I will seriously consider using this in the future.

Why are there so many of these? Is there a reason why their creators aren't just converging on one implementation?
