Presentation Intelligence slides – how do you usually make them?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been diving deeper into developing and documenting some Julia packages recently, which naturally led to the task of putting together technical presentation slides and architecture overviews for local meetups and community discussions.

As developers, we often run into the friction of translating complex backend logic, benchmark comparisons, and macro usage into clean, digestible visual layouts. I find myself spending way too much time tweaking slide designs rather than focusing on the actual content and code examples.

I’m genuinely curious about how others in the Julia ecosystem approach this part of the workflow. When you are preparing a talk for a conference or a quick walkthrough for contributors:

  • Do you prefer writing code-driven slides using Markdown/HTML frameworks (like Remark, Quarto, or Marp)?

  • Do you stick to LaTeX/Beamer for mathematical precision and integration?

  • Or do you just rely on traditional GUI presentation tools like Keynote, PowerPoint, or Google Slides?

Would love to hear what your current setup looks like and any tips you have for streamlining technical slide creation!
