About Me
Hey everyone, thank you for trying Deckless! My name is Darren. I've been a web developer for nearly 25+ years coding since the early days of PHP. I just launched this beta web app today so I'm just very proud to have finished at least the very first version of this software. I really wanted to make this out of my own need to replace current presentation software for the every day use. I mean let's be honest, we're not Steve Jobs doing a keynote presentation in front of thousands or millions of people.
We're just people who go to work every day and have to write down notes and organize things into bite size pieces here and there. And every once in a while share those notes with others. That's what Deckless was created for.
Anyways, it's not perfect (aka work in progress), but if you like it, share with a friend and let me know what I can do to improve it.
