Slidedecks are important

My first ever startup was called EMRChain (blockchain EMR interoperability).

  • I was told I needed more twitter followers
  • Also told that pretty slidedecks were non-technical and black text on white background was cracked

Shoutout to @hardhathen from Polychain Capital.

Why not Slidev?

Slidev is objectively better and more complete software. But it's multi-file and complex.
