#3Much needed. I usually draw them into a tablet, export them as images and then put them into slides. This is much neater.
I couldn't test it in a tablet right now. How does it do when hand-drawing in a tablet?
Thanks!

#5I'm very impressed...
I added a new slide to the demo. Then I tried my best to legibly write "TEST SLIDE" with a simple smiling face underneath. When I clicked preview, my poorly drawn words and face had been transformed into real text and an emoji.
Fantastic work.

#6Looks great! I recently tried to make something similar where one could simultaneously sketch on a tablet and on a laptop - https://onthesamepage.online/about

#7Aw man, I don't have a mouse or trackball with me today. The trackpad sucks for drawing.
I wish there was something I could do in freehand drawing interfaces that assumed mouse-button-down and let me just drag.

Perhaps a keyboard shortcut to replace mouse-button-down, that definitely sounds do-able.

#9Just suggestion: since most people (esp at work) use traditional setup (keyboard+mouse), I think it'd be better if people can type for text instead of drawing.

Just tried on my iPad. Preview works in both Chrome and Firefox, but neither save (I do have PowerPoint loaded on the iPad and I use it there occasionally.) On Firefox when I save I get an "error" dialog, and the chance to choose someplace to save it to - but Powerpoint is not one of the options. In Chrome when I save a new browser tab opens with a lot of data - I'm assuming that it is what would have been written as a ppt file.
