Had a blast building this with @freekmurze! Lots more exciting stuff to come 🚀.
Polishing what I think will be our next package: this one can generate mobile passes for MacOS / iOS, pretty cool. I’ve not tagged 1.0 yet, but it should all work. Feel free to test it out, open for PRs. Developed in tandem with @danjohnsonxyz .

A big part of the presentation was also the videos. Doing live electronics on stage just wasn't practical, so I opted for pre-recorded content. This was tricky because I don't have the equipment or the skills for video production, but I think I made it work!

Copying the individual assets into Keynote allowed me to animate them individually.

I also used Figma to mock up a lot of the slides. Once a slide was ready, I copied the individual assets as a PNG and pasted them into Keynote.

Of course, I got completely carried away with this. I ended up building components for each of these assets, utilising variants so I can quickly piece together a customised asset.

I'm really passionate about design, so I decided to create all the assets myself in Figma so I can get them exactly how I want them.

Back when I was tinkering with ESP32s and Arduinos, I used the incredible @WokwiMakes simulator to test my prototypes before I physically built them. I loved the way they use flat-design vectors to represent components: they look clean and consistent.

Eventually, I realised the answer was sitting in front of me the whole time. My desk!. Since I started working on Pinout, my desk has been a crazy mess of random electronics. So this was the perfect inspiration for the slides design!

Coming up with an idea for the theme was the first challenge. I toyed around with a few ideas, including this blueprint theme - but it was a little too bland for my liking.
