I recently made a very similar tool but focused on making small React apps instead of presentations. A basic starter html file with an example app: https://glider-app.netlify.app/glider.html Docs: https://glider-app.netlify.app/docs.html The docs aren't very polished yet but it's quite usable! It bundles a JSX transpiler, a code editor, and supports saving to a file or localstorage. It supports "ejecting" to separate…

I checked it out and it looks cool. It's a much more general platform than Bento. If you can make it do presentations, I'm sure the actual quality of the output would be better than Bento as it's React as compared to reveal.js.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks! If you need anybody to test and feedback, I'll give it a go.

I really like the first 2, but not sure about the game mechanics of the last one. However, the graphics were nice and fluid throughout, looks great!

This is so cool. And it's as simple as telling Claude about the skill: https://bento.page/

Let me know how you get on with the Claude skill. I haven't done nearly as much testing as I should have with it! Thanks for the feedback!

Love it. Like some others here, I've been making html presentations with code-agents and they come out really nice. Other alternatives for that suit different purposes are these: - slidev markdown-based slides, I often have a code-agent make these. https://github.com/slidevjs/slidev - typst slides are great looking too, especially with math etc. Again easy for agents to do One minor nit: Based on the title, I thought…

Oh! I didn't know about slidev before. I like how it can embed Vue.js components. Typst kinda looks like LaTeX. Thanks for sharing.

I thought about whether to use Slidedeck Tool in the title, but powerpoint won out mainly because how often people talk about presentations as powerpoints.

This might just be a Firefox thing but the animations are really struggling on my system here - very slow and choppy.

Was about to say the same. It's really a slideshow – and that being on an M1! Can't imagine how much worse it probably is on Windows.

I love this. I hope you don't get cease and desisted by MS for mentioning PowerPoint.

Thanks. I hope so too. It seem to be squarely in fair use and there is no real chance anybody would mix this up with MS Powerpoint (I would think).
