Powerpoint has always worked fine for me while being live at conferences. I used it for bullet points. Not too fancy. Sufficient, with my temper on a stage.

What’s it about
It’s fast. It’s too fast for me. I have always used Twitter twitter to ask questions. Worked fine in the past. Nowadays, my questions are too difficult (example here: https://twitter.com/YvonneTunnat/status/1438063958821416961). People always retweet, but tend not to answer any more. Besides, I check my timeline not frequently enough to see interesting content.
