A quick provocation

AI can do almost
anything now.
We still present like
it's 2005.

You stand up, talk over a static PDF, and the second you finish, the room's gone. Everyone who leaned in, nodded, wanted more — vanished. You never even knew who was there.

What it is
What this is

A tiny presenter app that runs off your own slides.

They answer on their phones

Drop a question mid-talk. Answers come back from the actual people in the room, tied to real names.

You read the room live

A second screen shows the tallies filling in as they tap. You watch the mood shift while you're still talking.

Everyone becomes a lead

To answer, they registered. So the whole room lands in a table you can export the moment you step off.

Instead of Slido Mentimeter Kahoot badge scanners

Same jobs those do — audience polls, lead capture — except it's yours, in one thing, running off your slides.

Your turn
Don't take my word for it

For the next minute,
you're in my audience.

Open the companion on your phone, or right here in a tab. Register, run the checkpoints, tell me what you actually think. I'll show you the other side in a second.

Your turn03 / 09
The other side
Welcome back

Here's what I could
see the whole time.

This is the presenter view — the room map I read live while you were tapping. Your answer's in there now, sitting next to everyone else who's tried it.

And here's the quiet part: to answer, you registered. So you — and everyone who showed up — just became a lead.

One more thing while you're in there — tap Ask a question on your phone and send something. Watch it land on the room map, live, with your name on it.

Not a form at the end
One at a time, not all at once

Those checkpoints? They're woven through the whole talk.

You just answered four in a row because this is a six-minute demo. On a real talk, I open them one at a time, whenever I get there — not a survey dumped at the end.

Early
Checkpoint 1
Mid-talk
Checkpoint 2
Near the close
Checkpoint 3

Their phones just sit there and wait — a checkpoint unlocks the second I open it from the room map, right when it's relevant.

Try it right now
No, really — try it

These are your slides.
Press E to edit them.

Right now, on this exact screen. Hit E, or hover the top-left corner — the text on this slide turns editable. Change a word, move to the next slide, it's still there.

01

Press E or click the pencil, top-left.

02

Click any text on a slide. It's a normal text cursor now.

03

Ctrl/Cmd+S saves it and downloads your edited deck.

It's your deck, so it should feel like your deck — not a hosted thing you have to ask someone to change.

Setting it up
However you like to build

Two ways to get your own copy running.

Option 1

Do it yourself — about 15 minutes

  1. Copy the template repo.
  2. Edit one config file — your questions, your brand.
  3. Deploy it to your own GitHub Pages.
Option 2

Point your AI at it

Hand the template to Claude Code (or whatever you use) and let it read the config, ask you the right questions, and build your version for you.

Full steps in the README — nothing here is locked behind a call with me.

Take it with you
It's yours, not rented

Take the template.
Run your own.

Copy the prompt below into Claude Code. It reads the template, asks you a few questions, and builds your version — Supabase, checkpoints, slides, and a live link — while you watch.

1
Install frontend-slides — github.com/zarazhangrui/frontend-slides
2
Open Claude Code on Opus
3
Paste this
Copy this into Claude Code

Set me up with my own version of this — a talk that turns my audience into captured leads. Use the template at github.com/ncih/deck-template: clone it, then walk me through everything step by step — set up my free Supabase, write my checkpoint questions, build my slide deck, and deploy it to my own GitHub Pages. I'm non-technical, so explain each step simply and do the technical parts for me.
