> **Ryan Briggs** (@ryancbriggs; 6/1): I went with xaringan, mostly so that I could have a slide deck with nice themes, incremental reveals, R code, live graphs, and of course gifs. For what I want to do xaringan feels a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, but maybe I'll grow into it. https://t.co/Unc91Gh6Wo  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206690571076681729)

> **Nick HK** (@nickchk; 3/0): @ryancbriggs @Andrew___Baker @paulgp @ApoorvaRed I also ended up using revealjs for my class since ioslides was missing some things I wanted and I couldn't get xaringan to work at all. My code is here: https://t.co/sayTUqZwHu  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206701802751582208)

> **Grant McDermott** (@grant_mcdermott; 2/0): @Andrew___Baker @ApoorvaRed @paulgp @ryancbriggs This is because you don’t want to host on a public GitHub repo (and render with raw.githack), right?

> **Ryan Briggs** (@ryancbriggs; 2/0): Up to now I have always used Keynote for presentations. For an undergrad methods class, I’m looking to use some R markdown-type format (R Presentations, slidy, ioslides, xaringan) so students can look under the hood. The ecosystem seems messy though. Anyone have a recommendation?  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206648982811922435)

> **Will Wheeler** (@willwheels; 2/0): @Andrew___Baker @ApoorvaRed @paulgp @ryancbriggs This is a helpful thread. I've been trying to switch to R Markdown and it's not clear what the best presentation format is. I had the same worry about xaringan, I liked reveal, but tried Beamer anyway...and the slide title fonts were garbled when I presented, ffs.

> **Andrew Baker** (@Andrew___Baker; 2/0): @ApoorvaRed @paulgp @ryancbriggs I think xaringan was pretty clear in their write up that it wouldn't compile to locally. https://t.co/kP467yS1bR  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206709258307268608)

> **Paul Goldsmith-Pinkham** (@paulgp; 2/0): @ryancbriggs I couldn't get xaringan to work with what I wanted, so ended up using revealjs in Rmd. Agreed that the ecosystem is a bit confusing. I missed beamer many times when I worked with Rmd.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206691233680068609)

> **Ryan Briggs** (@ryancbriggs; 1/0): @jb_duckmayr Keynote is just less ugly PowerPoint, but I’ve lots of experience with R markdown. I went with xaringan and it seems to be working fine. https://t.co/GOdTJwNEqD  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206773526184833024)

> **Apoorva Lal** (@ApoorvaRed; 1/0): @Andrew___Baker @paulgp @ryancbriggs huh. i hadn't tried with xaringan, but it seemed to work fine w vanilla html pages [with interactive / plotly figures and the like]. if you need xaringan, you could try working out of a single gist and using https://t.co/ZmQiSaROSd to render on either end.  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206709865457930241)

> **Andrew Baker** (@Andrew___Baker; 1/0): @paulgp @ApoorvaRed @ryancbriggs yes please + 1. My real problem with xaringan is that it doesn't compile to an html, so if you're working with someone else it is kind of a disaster. Does revealjs get around that?  [&#8618;](https://twitter.com/xieyihui/status/1206699737350492160)

> **Andrew Baker** (@Andrew___Baker; 1/0): @paulgp @ApoorvaRed @ryancbriggs Sorry it doesn't compile to a *local* html file. So if I knit a regular beamer RMD I can just share it, e.g. by email, with a coauthor. With Xaringan I have to upload it to my website.

> **Andres Karjus** (@AndresKarjus; 1/0): @nerdpro @DingemanseMark @decksetapp I've been using (R) markdown for slides for the last ~2y, both conferences &amp; the dataviz workshops. The writing part is indeed nice, it's just a text file, though fiddling with the layouts to make it look decent in the end can be... fiddly. Packages like xaringan are nice though.
