Reviewer scorecard
“Limited customization and no real API. For dev team presentations, Markdown-to-slides tools are more flexible.”
“The fastest way to create clean flowcharts and wireframes. Constraints that force good design are a feature, not a bug.”
“The smart layout engine is genuinely impressive. Produces better slides than 90% of manual PowerPoint work.”
“Beautiful output with zero design effort. The auto-layout for flowcharts is magical compared to manual tools.”
“Locked into their template system. When you need a custom layout, you're fighting the tool instead of using it.”
“Intentionally limited scope means it does a few things exceptionally well. Refreshing in a market of bloated tools.”
