What’s with your spell check?
low-key might use this for future memes - there’s an uncanny quirkiness that draws the attention hahaha
don’t - it just looks ugly
People use power point for academic presentations? I thought it was either beamer or, if you are a hipster scientist, reveal.
I think it’s funny that beamer always looks so bad but everyone accepts it because it’s the standard
We have some pretty good styles at our company and we also had some at my university. It’s not beamer that looks bad, it’s just the default styles that suck. Use the metropolis styles, they’re decent.
I actually do use beamer for most presentations, but all universities I’ve worked at only ever provided templates for PowerPoint. My solution to this has been to just write a .sty file that makes it look similar (and leaves out the over-designed garbage that the templates tend to contain).
Edit: I’ve tried reveal, too. Didn’t hate it, but it makes some things ridiculously difficult (e.g., handouts or “overlay-style” animations).
In germany many technical universities offer .sty packages in the corporate design. Really cool!
Ipe gang
(am I doxxing myself as being one of the like ten people that do presentations in Ipe?)What’s lpe?
This. It’s a LaTeX-based image editor, basically
Sounds nice. What’s the benefit compared to inkscape’s pdf/TeX export?
Never heard of any of those
Beamer is for Latex to crate presentations
