## Presentation tools

- [Simon Willison's Present](https://github.com/simonw/present) - put URLs in a `.txt`file, this software will present them. Can also use a remote to control it from your phone. See [I vibe coded my dream macOS presentation app](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/25/present/).
- [ASCIInema](https://asciinema.org/) -- "Record and share your terminal sessions, the right way."
- [Deckset for Mac: Turn your notes into beautiful presentations](http://www.decksetapp.com/) -- is my favored presentation tool now. See ["Intrusion Detection Systems"](https://github.com/indypy/PythologyFeb2018/blob/master/Pradeep-Gowda-Intrusion-Detection-Systems.pdf) presentation given by me in Feb 2018.
	- Update Dec 2025; AI Code Assistants are accelarating [feature development](https://www.deckset.com/macos-releases/)
- [Marp](https://yhatt.github.io/marp/) -- Markdown Presentation Writer
- [carbon.now.sh](https://carbon.now.sh/) allows you to create nice looking images of the source code. Especially useful to include in presentation tools which do not do inline code highlighting (eg: Powerpoint?)
- [github.com/phikal/slides](https://github.com/phikal/slides)  --  A tool to create clean postscript slides written in [golang](https://shared.btbytes.com/p/golang) by [Philip Kaludercic](https://amodernist.com/index.html).
