Using browser tabs as slides

[Anand S]

My last two presentations used browser tabs as slides.

For my talk last week titled Your Chotu Is Smarter Than You Think, I planned to show a series of examples. I loaded them all in a browser window as tabs like this:

1. How I use AI to navigate toilets
2. How I use AI for food recommendation
3. How I use AI for book suggestions
4. What else I can use AI for
5. ...

Once loaded, I can press Ctrl+PgDn to move to the next - just like I'd press the right arrow key in a slide deck. I can also use the mouse to click on the tab if I want to jump around.

But there's one advantage I missed from slides. I can add title slides, section dividers, etc.

Since web pages are so versatile, I vibe-coded a slide tool by roughly saying:

• Give me a single page "slide" tool
• Let me edit the title, subtitle, fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc. via a (barely visible) button on the top right
• Store this in the URL so I can bookmark and share it

(Note: I had 5 min on 4% battery and my laptop couldn't connect to the Internet. This was voice vibe-coded on the web and the PR accepted without review.)

That let me create a far richer presentation.

1. 🟢 SLIDE I use AI like an intern
2. Like a plumber, to navigate toilets
3. Like a waiter, for food recommendation
4. Like a secretary, for book suggestions
5. 🟢 SLIDE Use Paid AI. ANY Paid AI is the best ROI you get
6. You can hire AI for many services
7. 🟢 SLIDE Under-using AI is more dangerous than over-using
8. ... and so on.

The "slides" allow me to add structure and remind the audience and me about the key points.

For all the bad press PowerPoint receives, I don't think presentations are a bad format. But today, there are so many more ways of presenting that using slideshow software seems a bit outdated.
