Create blueprints of presentations in no time. Prepare pages to be shared and discussed with colleagues. Work in parallel with others (even remotely) leveraging the sharing functionalities. Paste text or graphics from the web or other documents to enrich your content. Unleash your creativity with tables and graphs and provide guidelines for drafting the final version! This application will help you to organize your ideas efficiently: > Reuse the previous formats and themes, significantly increasing your productivity. > Work with your team wherever you are. You will be surprised to see how flexible and easy it is to design a slide deck. To publish professional-looking presentations means to start from a well-defined draft. Some typical scenarios: > You need your team to prepare a proposal for a presentation. > You have been asked to create a slide deck, and you would like to share it with your team for more comments. > You have to prepare a presentation in pdf quickly. Let's take a look at the main features... Stickers: You can add content to the page, such as images, text, tables, and graphs. Each sticker can be customized. If you know HTML, you can also format the content using standard HTML constructs. Each table can be displayed as a graph simply with a gesture. Themes: Once you've found the colors and the font you want to use, set them as default, and each new presentation will have the same format and appearance. Auto-Layout: Items added to the page, reorganize accordingly to the orientation of the device. You can print the same document/page in two different versions (horizontal or vertical) with a simple movement. Add external content: Using the device's copy functionality, you can paste the content (image or text) on any page, directly from the web or other documents that allow the copy function. Creating storyboard: You can assign a name to each page together with a note. Build your story, assigns an order to the pages, add comments. Export your project: The entire project can be exported and sent by e-mail to others that have this application. Export Draft Outline: Once you are ready to export, you can choose to publish the page in symbolic format. The page is rendered in HTML format. Export Pdf Project: You export what you see on the screen. Export Snapshots: You can also take snapshots of your pages and send them with additional comments by e-mail or export them in the Gallery of photos of the iPad. Organize projects by topics: Whenever you create a new set of pages, you can assign them to a group. A group has attributes that you can use to better archive projects based on themes, descriptions, authors, etc. Share with secure encryption: All publishing functionalities have a secure-share option. You can share projects and snapshots with friends and colleagues with a simple gesture. The information is encrypted and can be accessed if the recipient knows the password. Working remotely with the team everywhere: Any project can be shared with other people using the same application. So you can work with groups by simply editing your presentation, sending it via secure e-mail, and receiving back the new version. Anywhere.

System Designer is a low-code development platform for creating systems. No matter the frameworks you use and the code you write, the most important is the model that you define to create your system. System Designer helps you to design this model and to generate the classes and components to build your system. DESIGN YOUR SYSTEM WITH EASE If you look at the different JavaScript frameworks on the market, you will notice that they all have their own way to define a model, generally only with code. System Designer uses UML, a standard, to define your model. So you probably already know how to design in System Designer even if you have never run it. The definition of the model is stored on a JSON format called MSON. With MSON you can define types, classes, one to one / one to many relationships and multi inheritance between classes. CODE THE BEHAVIOR OF YOUR SYSTEM Once you have created your model, System Designer generates the skeletons of all your methods. You only have then to add your code to implement them. System Designer provides you helpers to manage your components. You can easily navigate threw your components to create your application. CREATE COMPONENTS GRAPHICALLY There is no need to code to instantiate a component. Create a component in System Designer is like creating a document in a NoSQL Database. In fact, System Designer acts as an ODM (Object-Document Mapper) to manage your components as NoSQL Documents. RUN YOUR SYSTEM You can run your system directly from System Designer. Because you have defined a model for your application, a Dynamic Type Check is done on every action of your system. All warnings are send and shown in System Designer. DESIGN ON THE GO System Designer can be used on macOS, iPad or any browsers. System Designer has a Github module to synchronize your work between all these apps. You can begin your design on your Mac and then continue it on your iPad.
