Hi,

It would be nice if Excalidraw+ could export presentations into Apple's Keynote

Thanks, Csaba

Hi. You can export to PPTX and open it in Keynote. I just tried and works fine.

theevilbit commented 1 month ago

Yes, it would be still nice.

PPTX is the standard. What's the benefit of opening from key over pptx? Is something not working properly?

theevilbit commented 1 month ago

Neither PPTX , nor Keynote are standards. It's just about supporting multiple formats so people don't need to convert between the two.

dwelle commented 1 month ago

PPTX is standardized as Office Open XML, an open format, while keynote is closed and proprietary. I don't even know if there are libraries that can generate it.

Why do you need to convert between the two?

theevilbit commented 1 month ago

To save the workflow of opening the pptx in Keynote and saving as .key and then delete the pptx.

Maybe this: https://pypi.org/project/keynote-parser/ There seem to be other similar projects.
