I built a free and public presentation tool called Simple Slides using Laravel/Filament/Inertia/Vue, and I wanted to share it

Hey everyone, I know no-one likes self-promotion, and I genuinely am trying to not make it about that. We talk a lot about Filament and Inertia here, and I built a free-to-use (and open-source, since it's public on my GitHub) web application that uses these tools heavily - and I just wanted to share it. Whether you want to use the tool, or just want to see the code - it's all free (GitHub:
https://github.com/alkrauss48/simple-slides).

It's called Simple Slides, and the url is
https://simpleslides.dev. The front-page is an interactive experience explaining what Simple Slides is and how it works, but the tl;dr is that it's a platform for creating simple presentations that are mostly text-based and fully responsive (so it looks good on mobile, for example).

I've given a lot of talks in the past, and I found the way I present fits really well with the Takahashi method (only a few words on a slide so that it's easier for the audience to understand, mostly text content, and changing slides often to keep your audience engaged).

I have many more plans for what I want to add on, but no immediate plans for monetization (maybe one day I'll consider it to assist in covering hosting costs, but that day is not today). I just build things that I want to exist, and that I want to use myself. I would always love any feedback, even if it's a downvote!

Lastly, just for fun, here's a short (< 4 min.) YouTube video I gave about this tool at a local user group. submitted by /u/thecodeboss
