We all just use Google Slides or PowerPoint (with files shared on OneDrive), rough market to get in to.

Re: Pitch: Collaborative presentation software for teams
#112So I REALLY don’t mean this to be cynical, but: other than this clearly being a beautiful product, and I guess the simple fact that it’s just not a Google product, what exactly does this bring to the table that Google slides doesn’t already do? I say this as a guy who spends a lot of time in Google slides, both on my own presentations as well as collaborating on group ones, and it works pretty much perfectly. If I we…
Why would you miss anything? I think you are merely skipping over the part you have not missed: It's well designed and not a Google product. In a world with space for a thousand todo and project management apps, I am sure there is space for a slides competitor, even if that was all it has going for it (although I am assuming there is more).
Keynote is also a well designed product not made by google. It is available on the web and supports real time collaboration.
But it seems like no one cares about web/collaboration in iWork apps and apple isn‘t really pushing it as a gsuite competitor. The sharing model is maybe not exactly work friendly.
So since gsuite is absolutely dominating iWork already, I think they have a shot by just making it more well designed than Slides.

As someone who makes startups and invests sometimes, I recommend you remove "Wrote 90% of code being a part-time cofounder." That would be a red flag.
Could you explain why that would be a red flag?
not sure either, maybe a lack of balance in the delegation or organizational structure ?

Knowing Google history in shutting down anything other than search, mail and maps, yes its a huge advantage. I was approach to use “Authenticator” app in new project and upon finding out its Google, I declined
Google is never going to close slides or docs. Gsuite makes them enterprise money.
Would you bet on Google never closing Slides? I wouldn’t.

I'll bet it's still here in ten years. Fifteen if there are no dramatic technological shake ups.
I know Google kills off stuff left and right, but Gsuite has huge penetration in business and academia. Slides are a part of that.

Roam is rather niche though, and insanely overpriced.
Might be niche but they raise $200 million, four times what Pitch raised.
They raised $9m at a $200m valuation

#119I really like Pitch’s emphasis on Keyboard shortcuts. IMO all UIs should have a keyboard-centric mode. See Kitemaker and Superhuman.
It doesn’t yet have basics like dotted lines and curves lines etc but I assume those and more will come soon.
What is the differentiation compared to SlideBean? And Canva ?
