Wherever people look at one screen together.
A talk, a class, a demo or a review. The page is the same for everyone, and it stays sharp and in step on every screen in the room.
Talks you already have a deck for
Works well with reveal.js markdown or an HTML export.
Today
A slide deck shared as a video goes soft, and the back rows photograph it.
With Present Tense
Import the deck and Present Tense renders it on every screen as real text. The room follows you slide by slide, you point and highlight, and each viewer's browser can translate it into their own language.
Conference talks
Works well with slide decks in the browser.
Today
The back rows squint at a projector and photograph slides with their phones.
With Present Tense
Every seat gets a sharp copy on its own phone. People zoom into a chart, copy a link, and look up without missing the next point.
Lectures and classes
Works well with slides and docs in the browser.
Today
Students fall behind when the wifi drops and spend the lecture copying from the board.
With Present Tense
Each student keeps the page in front of them. After a dropout they rejoin on the current slide, and anything on screen can be copied into notes.
Workshops and code walkthroughs
Works well with GitHub and code in the browser.
Today
Code on a projector gets retyped by hand, with typos, while the speaker waits.
With Present Tense
Code arrives as text. Attendees copy the snippet you are showing, and you point at the line that matters.
Product demos
Works well with your own web app.
Today
Screen-shared demos go soft and laggy right when the feature matters most.
With Present Tense
Your product shows up crisp in every browser, and you highlight the feature instead of describing where it is. Content drawn on a canvas, such as Excalidraw or a charting dashboard, comes through as a still image that refreshes as it changes; motion inside it does not. Content inside an embedded frame from another site does not come through.
Team reviews
Works well with docs, dashboards and GitHub.
Today
Half the call looks at the wrong part of the screen, and “that one, no, left” eats the meeting.
With Present Tense
Everyone looks at the same element while you discuss it. Keep talking on the call you already use; the page itself comes through Present Tense.
Multilingual audiences
Works well with slides and docs in the browser.
Today
The talk is in one language. People who read another photograph slides and run them through a translate app, a few seconds behind, or miss it.
With Present Tense
The page arrives as real text, so each person's browser can translate it on their own phone, and it stays in step as you move. You present once; everyone reads it in their language.
Code review and PR walkthroughs
Works well with GitHub and code in the browser.
Today
One person scrolls a diff on a shared screen while everyone else asks them to go back up.
With Present Tense
Everyone has the diff on their own screen, the line under discussion is marked for all, and anyone can copy a snippet.
Incident reviews and ops standups
Works well with dashboards like Grafana.
Today
“That spike, no, the other one” on a compressed dashboard nobody can read.
With Present Tense
The live dashboard arrives sharp on every screen, and you mark the exact panel you mean.
All-hands and town halls
Works well with slides and docs in the browser.
Today
A big room, far seats, and a crowded network.
With Present Tense
Every seat gets the page on its own phone, and people who arrive late land on what's showing now.
Demo days and hackathon judging
Works well with your own web app.
Today
Judges squint at a projector and ask for the repo link twice.
With Present Tense
Judges read the demo on their own screen, zoom in, and copy the link.
Training and onboarding
Works well with docs and dashboards.
Today
New hires retype settings and URLs from the screen.
With Present Tense
They follow along on their own screen and copy what they need.
