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.

I am trying it at the moment. Do you plan to include any presentation templates in the future? :)

Nick Mikulin

@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?

Nick Mikulin

@egor_krasnoperov Thanks, Egor! Yes, we're planning transitions and more updates to our player.

Congrats on the launch! Modul is just perfect for someone like me who needs to present often but might be a bit short on artistic flair while still wanting great visuals :)

Nick Mikulin

@peilan_qin Thank you! We are trying to balance the visuals with speed and ease-of-use, and I'm happy to hear you feel they're great.

Andrey Lipkovskiy

Wow! Looks great! Congratulations and best of luck with the launch

Nick Mikulin

@lipkovskiy Thank you, Andrey!

@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?

Nick Mikulin
@johannesippen Jo, thanks a lot for your feedback both here and in our Tally form! You can actually highlight text already by selecting bits you want to highlight and clicking on highlighter/bold/strike-through icons. I’m glad you mentioned AI, we also feel that there’s enough good ways to generate and work on presentation content outside Modul, so we prefer to differentiate with building experience itself. If we ever come up with an AI-powered feature, it will be something useful and specific to Modul ♥️

I'm curious, how does Modul handle complex data visualizations or charts while keeping layouts unbreakable?

Nick Mikulin

@rajpurohit_vijesh For now we stick to text and images. For the simple use-cases we're targeting, users would typically have their visualizations as images, screenshots, or even YouTube videos if needed.

With these features, the product is excellent. Great work

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.

Nick Mikulin

@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.

Van de Vouchy

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?

Nick Mikulin

@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.

Mikhail Mazein

Looks pretty! Good luck guys!

@mikhail_mazein Thank you, Mikhail!
