Here is where things stand with the development of SlideMagic 2.0. I am making good progress with a new presentation design app that follows the same (patented) design approach as the current web app but a lot of the small inconveniences ironed out:
- A native app that runs both on Windows and Mac and saves and loads files to a local hard drive, allows you to work offline, and deliver much snappier editing response times
- Built-in, instant export to PowerPoint
- Instant conversion between 4:3 and 16:9, back and forth
- A more integrated user interface enabling the editing of grids, shapes, and text from one screen
The prototype is coming along nicely, but still a lot of effort is required to iron out the small glitches before I can let the genie out of the bottle…
