there's even an M365 hanging around in the article :facepalm:

On macOS, I strongly recommend DeckSet[0]. It's a Keynote/Powerpoint from Markdown, especially valuable when you embed code in your presentations.

[0]: https://www.deckset.com/


i'm completely willing to support good software with money, but there are so many amazing options being posted in this thread that are feature rich, multiplatform, and free. why do you choose deckset when it's missing two of these three? are there must-have features that the others don't offer?


Nice questions!

I use DeckSet since a lot of years, I find it easy to use and I love the result. I don’t care about multi platform because I’m doing my presentation on a Mac. I don’t care paying fair prices to software.

The only downside I found was the lack of customization offered.

I’ll look into the GitHub list, especially to the 2 others macOS apps


While I agree on your point, your comment made me smile as I’m reading HN using a mobile app


I'm curious, did you start using HN with the mobile app or migrate to it after you realized the usefulness of the website?


I migrated to the mobile app after discovering the site. I find the app greatly increases the readability of the site by adding just a few more colors, some icons for particularly popular threads, and a palatable dark mode.


So nothing that couldn't be solved by a better mobile friendly web site?


You could always use https://github.com/openstyles/stylus to customize HN looks like


Oh wow, this is fantastic, thanks! I wonder if I can run it on FF mobile to make the site more friendly.

EDIT: I can, awesome. If anyone has a good theme to suggest, that would be fantastic.


Which app are you using? There are quite a few on the Apple store.

You should try Citymapper!


Thanks, I will.

EDIT: Tried the web UI, doesn't seem to do that; it shows the separate PT/Cycling/Taxi routes, but none actually integrated. Plus the taxi route went over the river! (there was a car ferry once, but not for years)


The app definitely does (it can even do combos with public transport and uber), but the quality of the map might depend on the city. It is great for the Paris/Barcelona area at least


I've seen it do combined subway/Uber routes in Moscow.


I think the point was something like “constraint forces creativity”

Try `Game.RuinTheFun()`


If you like speed as much as I do :

1. Total Space. Setup shortcuts and disable transitions

2. Disable (or speed up) OSX animation (I don't have the commands on my phone, just Google it)

3. iTerm and window splitting (Cmd d) and switch (Cmd [ or ])

4. And The REAL time saver : Keyboard Maestro Create at least one macro per app. I assigned shortcuts like

Cmd Shift L - iTerm

Cmd Shift / - Atom

Cmd Shift ' - Chrome

Ctrl Shift < - Finder

Ctrl Shift M - Mailbox

And so (Xcode, Slack etc.)

Then I pur each app in fullscreen (Ctrl Cmd F).

Now I have O(1) access over my computer \o/

Edit: disclaimer I'm a vim user


For the application shortcuts, is there an advantage over activating spotlight (cmd + space) and typing the first few letters of the application name?

I've been thinking about making screenflow workflows to open up a set of files, which could be quite powerful.


Yes. For those you often switch (eg Atom > Chrome > Atom). O(1) access FTW.

I use Spotlight for app I launch but don't really switch Mostly CSGO, Heroes of The Storm, Mumble and TS (Games!)

Actually I use shortcut a lot more for switching than for launching. For instance I launch atom from iTerm. A standard flow could be code, test, terminal commit, chat on Slack/IRSSI, IDE.
