Pro Tip: Embedding Demos

The HTML export creates a self-contained file that can be embedded in presentations, documentation, or websites. Perfect for investor decks that need to work offline.

Presentation Tips

• Use --fullscreen for maximum visual impact
• The matrix effect works great on dark stage backgrounds
• Use --interactive mode for Q&A sessions so you can pause and explain
• Record a backup video in case of technical difficulties
• Test on the actual presentation screen - colors may vary
