I build an app for this some time ago: https://hyperdeck.io
It uses markdown with extensions. There’re also a lot of alternative markdown based slide generators on GitHub. Most use JavaScript though and I wanted something native
https://revealjs.com/ is a mature, popular option and supports writing slides in Markdown, though ultimately you are working with HTML.
Beamer (https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Beamer) works well if you are comfortable with LaTeX.
Oh nice. It's been a while since I've used LaTeX, but ChatGPT is great with it :)
