Short version: Presenter turns Markdown into a beautiful presentation, and also to PDF/HTML/Word/etc. handouts if you want. It’s like iA’s Writer in that it makes a lot of decisions for you. I love that because people who are better at design than I am take that off my plate.
I also acknowledge that lots of people would dislike it for that reason: they want to deeply tweak every possible thing to get the end result “just so”. That flexibility in other apps like Keynote and PowerPoint is a drawback for me, though. If my eyes see a configurable option, my brain will insist on messing around with it instead of doing the thing I really want to be doing.
I adore that it comes with a one-time-purchase choice alongside the subscription options. Given the many years of happy use I’ve gotten from iA Writer, this was an instant buy.
