Day 0: I want to kill the pain of making slides — an indie dev’s starting point with Nano Banana Pro

Today is Day 0 (Dec 22, 2025). I’m starting a 10-day public build log to document one thing:
How I’m using Nano Banana Pro to turn “making PPTs” from a slow, messy craft into a repeatable, productized workflow.
I’m not a designer. I’m not a consultant who lives in decks. I’m an indie developer who can ship code and build products — but every time I need slides, I fall into the same black hole:layout, visuals, and style consistency.

The real pain isn’t writing content — it’s making it look like a deck
If you’ve ever built a product pitch, a demo deck, or a talk, you probably know this pattern:
The outline takes 30 minutes
Then you lose 3 hours to font sizes, spacing, colors, and image hunting
And somehow it still looks “stitched together,” not cohesive Content is thinking. Visual consistency is operations.

Slides need rules — a system — not just effort:
the same constraints, the same visual language, and the same layout logic across pages.

What I’m building: DrawPPT — from outline to a deliverable deck in minutes
I’m building DrawPPT with one goal:Make it possible for non-designers to consistently produce decks that look professional, structured, and visually unified — and exportable as PPTX.

Not “a deck that exists.”
A deck that feels like it was made by one system, not assembled at 2am.
Why I’m betting on Nano Banana Pro: slides don’t just need images — they need layout + readable text

Here’s the key insight:
In slides, images aren’t decoration. They often carry the structure.
Title pages / section dividers that set the tone
Infographics: process, comparison, timeline, funnel
Chart styling: making data pages feel “on brand”
Icons / illustrations: a consistent visual language
And all of these have a hard requirement:
Text inside visuals must be readable, and composition must be intentional.

That’s why I’m betting on Nano Banana Pro — because it’s optimized for producing usable assets, not just pretty images. For PPT use cases, “text clarity + layout awareness” is everything.
What you’ll see in the next 10 days: from “looks good” to “fits into PPTX”
