turning a readme into a presentation is tricky bc u can't just copy-paste everything without it being too dense. i've been using the markdown-to-ppt feature in gamma to strip out the extra details and focus on what matters, but does anyone else find that it still requires way too much manual cleanup? it is definitely much better than starting from a blank slide deck tho

fr the manual cleanup is always a pain because gamma tries to be too "helpful" with the layout. i've found that if you pre-process the markdown in a text editor first to strip everything except headers and bullet points, it saves so much time. try using a simple sed script or just a regex find/replace to delete all the long paragraphs before importing

the manual cleanup is such a time sink when i'm trying to get a quick pitch ready for a new client. i've been stuck doing everything manually in google slides for a local cafe project because the formatting always breaks. are you using any specific prompts or templates within gamma to help it recognize where the breaks should be?

Google Slides is a nightmare for that kind of thing. I dealt with similar issues on a dashboard migration project last year, and I've found that using custom CSS or even just basic HTML tables helps keep the structure more predictable before you ever touch an automated tool.
