Creating presentations is time-consuming and requires design skills. Modul makes it easy with unbreakable layouts and styles. Customize colors, fonts, and themes with a few clicks, while content automatically fits any layout, keeping everything polished.

Before switching to product design, I was designing presentations full-time, helping people create slides and present their ideas. At the time, I wondered how presentation tools like Keynote, PowerPoint, and Google Slides could be both too complex for regular users and counterintuitive for digital designers. I watched people struggle with these tools, thinking about all the unnecessary flexibility they had to deal with.
Think kids preparing homework for history class, think students not sleeping at 4-AM getting ready for thesis presentation, think devs 10 minutes before they have to show a couple of screenshots at sprint review. They all have something to say and they just need to quickly arrange their bits of text and pictures in a clean, non-fancy, minimal way.
The concept lived in my head for many years: a simple presentation tool for people without design skills, time, or intention to create complex presentations. Here’s Modul, it's now in open beta. So I invite you to try it.

@nickmikulin Congrats on your beta launch – love the idea & execution, already sent you specific feedback through Tally – can’t wait to use MODUL in production, this really fills a need!
Also, please never, never, ever add AI features to presentation creation – can I get a +1?

I am trying it at the moment. Do you plan to include any presentation templates in the future? :)
Modul
@busmark_w_nika Hey, Nika, thank you! Sure, we are considering more styles, themes, and templates in the future while keeping the structure simple.

@nickmikulin сongrats 🙌
The slide builder is useful. Are animations for slide transitions planned for future updates?
Modul
@egor_krasnoperov Thanks, Egor! Yes, we're planning transitions and more updates to our player.
Congrats! How do you plan to compete with established presentation tools like Keynote, PowerPoint, and Google Slides, given their vast ecosystems and integrations that your simpler tool currently lacks?
Modul
@vouchy Thank you! We focus on everyday presentations, so we built Modul for people and situations when vast ecosystems and integrations aren't needed: kids doing school projects, developers or managers giving 2-minute demos, etc.
@nickmikulin I remember one of the first versions, and I must say this is a huge leap forward—a great product. Congrats, Nick!
It's especially heartwarming to see products shipped by designers (or are you a design engineer now?). I truly believe we should see more of that

@s5f5f5f Thank you, Serge, some breaks were unnecessarily long, but here we are :D
I remember asking you in 2022 how you find motivation to build something after-hours, and you told me how coding stuff you design yourself feels almost like a different occupation and brings you energy. So thanks for the advice!
I love how designer founders prove that experience can be a huge differentiator even in the most competitive spaces 🫰
Time saver for people still using slides. However, I see a trend in the workspace that some people are abandoning slides nowadays to just use docs for presentation. Not sure how this trend will go and inpect the future of this product.

@bsy0221 Thanks, Maria! We also noticed this, and we feel like we can provide something between a document, a presentation, and a website format. We're also exploring different layouts beyond the typical 16:9.
