Workshop Slides
i use quarto + reveal.js for all my slides. my workflow is pretty straightforward - i dump all my thoughts and notes into notion first (helps me organize everything), then use vcursor to convert it all into reveal.js-friendly markdown. after that, i just sprinkle in some images and animations to make things pop. it's not fancy, but it works pretty well for me!
