• Help deleting personal information from Prezi

  Hello fellow privacy enthusiasts, a very long time ago used Prezi for creating slides for a school presentations. I am able to find back to these as they contain my name. I would very much like to have these deleted, but I do not know the account that was used to create this as it was back in 2014. Source: 12 months ago

• LPT: PowerPoint slides should be simple and concise. When giving a presentation, no one cares about the wall of elegant text you created.

  If the speaker is able to use notes that aren't the slide (they're not relying on the slides being shown to the audience to be their own speaker notes), then I use the theory that the slides should provide "context, not content", except for specific details that someone might want to take down in their notes or have access to later, such as a citation. Otherwise, it's all about context, which of course includes... Source: about 1 year ago

• LPT: Presentation slides are supposed to be simple and brief. Nobody is going to read your wall of fancy text when you give your presentation.

  Use the notes area of a slide to provide the details. If you share the deck or look back on it later the details of what was covered is there but it will help you keep the main presentation clean. There are also tools like highnote.io and prezi.com that can help you structure your presentations very well. Source: about 1 year ago

• Which website do you guys use for templates and icon repositories?

  I have heard that platforms like canva, highnote.io and prezi.com presentations are pretty good. They have really modern outlooks and they have a large library of free content. Their licensing terms are relatively generous as well. What do you use? Source: about 1 year ago

• What software do you use to make presentations?

  If you want a really flashy presentation, Prezi is another one that no one's mentioned yet. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What is that "I didn't know I needed" tool/item until you saw it here

  It could be that I'm just one of the 10,000 some days (https://xkcd.com/1053/) but there has been a few times that I've seen an article on HN and went "Umm, I didn't know I needed that, but it fits into a niche use that I have." My last one was Markdeep in a discussion about markup languages. https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ Or Picotron (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39786984)... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  I didn't see anyone mention Markdeep [0] yet. I started with a notes.txt file for the system I maintain. I found myself gradually adopting Markdown syntax because I need bulleted lists and headings to separate different sections. I also needed hyperlinks to documentation or StackOverflow answers. So one day I just added the Markdeep tags to the bottom of the file and renamed it to notes.md.html I still keep it... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Show HN: Durdraw – a modern ANSI art editor for modern Unix terminals

  Don't discount #2 there. I still make and use ASCII art when commenting source code. Flow charts! ASCII art diagrams can be automatically rendered to an image, too: https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Mathematical documents on ChromeOS?

  I started using MarkDown tools that support MathJax. As my preferred environment is as simple as possible I'm using Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/) and hammer and chisel (aka vi). Working well for me. Source: 8 months ago

• My uses for vimwiki have dried up... and it makes me a little sad

  I never tried using vim wiki because I was already using markdeep for a similar purpose. I could write markdown from the comfort of vim, then get rendering in a browser basically for free. I have toyed with the idea of creating a custom version of the vim wiki plugin which creates .md.html pages with the markdeep script code in the appropriate place. Thus allowing for the best of both worlds: fast editing in vim... Source: 11 months ago
