I like these projects but in my experience the four most common products people use for making slides are Google Slides, Canva (mostly by undergraduate students), PowerPoint, and Keynote. The common thread is the ease of use. So it's difficult to see why someone would switch to another product.
It’s definitely niche, but one of the best presentations I’ve ever seen was done in godot [0]
One of my coworkers copied our PowerPoint theme, built a super basic presentation mode with transitions and used the engine for interactive demos live in the slides running the code.
I am not sure how he managed to do it, I tried building a very simple game in godot and it took me way too much to figure out the physics etc. part, though that might be because I was making a simple shooting game like space invaders but with red and green squares and ability to rotate ...
Using godot to do this does seem to me pretty cool since godot is more interactive than lets say pygame but I am also still not sure how he managed to do it in godot, I would love it if your co worker could write a blog post explaining how he did so in godot!
I once wanted to create a presentation tool in ebitengine in golang just for fun and oh boy I failed miserably hard.
I genuinely like this idea. I had heard of this idea of using godot for unconvential usecases a long time ago in some HN post but seriously , while writing this post, I realized that your co worker could have also actually made a way to run that powerpoint tool in wasm since godot can compile to wasm and its kind of insane that you can get android,ios,web,every single desktop support while still not being electron or heavy on javascript.
I did find this https://github.com/GDquest/godot-presentations which is pretty interesting though I wish that some kind of video tutorial could go in hand with this because I am not that level of familiar with godot to actually run this
