I use Flutter Desktop for my presentations. It's faster to make presentation in Flutter for me. Especially after several presentations already done I have my custom "framework" and a lot of helper methods for animation or transitions. You just need to clone desktop embedding repo and have fun with example.

Now with plugins for notifications and file access I think about porting one of password managers to Flutter Desktop. This would take a lot of work but might be a great case for lightweight crossplatform password manager.

it's faster for you to make presentations in flutter rather than standard presentation softwares (ppt, google draw etc)? :)

When I have some helper widgets then yes. Some things are really hard to do (e.g. stepping through animations), but other are very easy (responsive layout, so I can present the same file on 4:3, 16:9 or other ratios).
