Genuine question: what does Keynote do that PowerPoint or LibreOffice Impress doesn't? I'm a bit out of the loop and just use Typst for presentations now, but I'm not suggesting it as an alternative to Keynote for anyone who doesn't mind a compilation step.

If PowerPoint is sufficient, it (mostly) works on Linux now: https://github.com/Tombert/office365_flake

Keynote doesn't have any unique features that other software doesn't have, but it's particularly well-designed: everything can be done more simply and more cleanly in Keynote. Maybe it's just a matter of habit, but I can't seem to get used to other software, especially LibreOffice Impress, which I find very unpleasant to use.

Well, given that AI can now decompile and port software... :)

Claude, make me a latex presentation on <topic> filled in with this outline.

If you don’t know what latex is, substitute “html”.

Similarly, the choice of LLM is unimportant.
