Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Presentations are created in Markdown so have a plain text source. Supports images and gifs. Themable. Includes syntax highlighting. Code snippets can be executed on demand. You also present from your terminal, but can export to PDF.

Tradeoffs

You lose flexibility from WYSIWYG slide editors, but we could all do with simpler presentations.
