Researcher shows a free open-source slide tool that beats PowerPoint and dodges AI design clichés
Afinetheorem · x · 2026-10-02
Afinetheorem shares a free, open-source slide-making workflow with a minimal syntax (press 'e' to toggle edit/presentation, 'f' for fullscreen), a preset style gallery, and full code available. He argues the preset styles avoid the telltale "Claude Brain" design tics while staying slightly avant-garde — and that he can't imagine going back to PowerPoint.
