I built ThinkLite because of a problem I kept running into: the slide-production tools that consultants rely on are powerful, but they're heavy, expensive, and priced for large firms. If you're at a boutique consultancy or working independently, you either pay enterprise rates for features you'll never touch, or you go without and spend your evenings nudging shapes by hand. ThinkLite is the stripped-down version I wanted — alignment, docking, stretching, fill-space, one-click charts. The everyday operations that eat hours, and nothing else. Along the way the scope shifted. I started out simply trying to make a lighter ThinkCell/EfficientElements alternative, but as LLMs got good, it became obvious the real time sink wasn't only formatting — it was getting from an idea to a first draft slide at all. So we added AI features: Text to Slide (describe it, get a deck), Image to Chart (drop in a screenshot of a chart, get a real editable one back), and Rewrite Text for draft copy. Sketch to Slide is next. The hardest lesson was restraint. Every feature request tempts you toward becoming the bloated thing you set out to replace. Our rule became: if it doesn't save a consultant time in the first 30 seconds, it doesn't ship. Everything is free during our promo period — I'd love your feedback, especially on which chart types we should tackle next.
