I've been creating slides with markdown and revealjs for my day job as an instructor for several years. I've also used obsidian and quarto for markdown->slide creation for a handful of meetups / conferences. This month I tried writing a kubecon talk using presenterm and had to throw in the towl after a couple hours of struggling.
It's super cool and I want to love it, but I find it too fiddly to get the layout the way I want it. For me it might be easier to just page through a plain text file of ascii art style diagrams or something.
I've always been just absolutely dog shit at design stuff. I can't center a div to save my life and I don't understand columns. I need it to be absolutely idiot proof because I'm an absolute idiot when it comes to these things.
I guess this is my attempt at encouragement for folks to keep working on these tools because I love the aesthetic but I just can't grok the interface. I will continue to watch this project with interest!
