i have been using marp lately.

i really liked the live preview and the output to pdf.

i do prefer pdf over web-based presentations because they are easier to share without a webbrowser (just send a document) (and they can still be viewed in a browser).

most irritating was the fact that i could not use my preferred editor. i haven't checked all the recommendations here, but i'll be looking for a combination if something like markdown in vim with live preview in a browser or pdf viewer

I am using markdeck with vim. Markdeck has an auto-reload, that means, every time you save your markdown or change something in your assets-folder, the web view gets reloaded automatically; so not really live preview, but auto-reload on save...

And markdeck has a standalone-exporter: it generates a single html file with all resources embedded (url-data, base64, ...); one file to send/open/view, but with working animations and the like (even the terminal session works)
