"You need a handsome presentation, pronto. You can\u2019t bear the thought of launching PowerPoint and you don\u2019t have the bandwidth for a full-on Keynote extravaganza. A brand new app from a brand new company might come to the rescue.\r\n\r\nDeckset, a Mac app launched this week by Unsigned Integer, lets you prepare a presentation via a simple text document with Markdown syntax to quickly build an attractive slide deck. The app is compatible with most text editors.\r\n\r\nWhile Deckset is designed to get your message out quickly, the presentation looks simple and chic and is easy to accomplish.\r\nYou can set up your slideshow with either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio.\r\nDeckset's developers make it clear that this app is not designed as a replacement for feature-rich desktop presentation apps from Apple, Microsoft, and others, but rather as a simpler, faster way to create presentations on the fly with lightweight tools.\r\n\r\nBut the results still pack a punch.\r\n\r\nBuilt-in themes such as Business Class, Letters from Sweden, Zurich, Franziska, Sketchnote, Poster, and Scherzkeks are designed to appeal to the character, subject, content, and style of the presentation. Each theme features between five and eight color variations and is paired with a cool designer typeface.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nImages and videos can easily be included from the Web or from your hard drive by dragging them into the Deckset interface.\r\n\r\nTo run through the slideshow, choose Rehearse Slideshow from the View menu, or just play your slideshow full screen. When you\u2019re done, export the document as a PDF.\r\n\r\nDeckset is available for $19.99 from the Mac App Store.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Deckset\r\n\r\n\u00A0See also:\u00A0Haiku Deck for iPhone lets you deliver presentations created with its iPad and Web apps\u00A0and\u00A0Swipe launches into beta as a Web app to create and share presentations to anyone on any device"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
