TLDR

Slidev is a quite new tool for creating HTML presentation that is fantastic.
Easily creates slide with Markdown and VueJS components and enjoy all the features (Presenter mode, syntax highlighting, LaTeX, diagrams...etc.).
Still in beta, but it already has quite a big community and is moving forward quite fast.
