Yep, I have just disabled export to PDF earlier as there was a rendering bug that will be fixed soon.

There is a patch coming in the new year with real time colab, export to PPT, local presentation modes and quite a few more features

Is the local presentation mode a single file that can be transferred via USB stick to another PC that has no internet connection?

The local presentation mode will be a joint release with a Desktop app that can be used without internet access, it won’t include portable files at this stage but it’s on our roadmap.

Dependence on an App is not good for long term viability. Before joining any new ecosystem I check if there is a clear route to transition out of it in the long term. People like me are allergic to lock-in-effects and provider/service-dependencies that could lock oneself out of ones own data if the provider shuts down. Given that export to a common format like pptx works great I will consider this software.

The paradox here is that the better the export functionality works the less people will actually need it.
