Deq is winding down on July 31.
We got far for a small team in a short time — but couldn’t see a way forward together, and made the tough call to stop.
Thanks to everyone who supported us along the way and see you next time ✌️

We shipped a new version od Deq last week. Sharing my favorite workflow-accelerators and life-improvers ⚡
— AI and other accelerators right in the context
— Keyboard shortcuts and better interactions
— New coach experience
— Keyboard shortcuts and better interactions
— Bulletpoints on slides
...and many more.

“You don’t want to bring a competitor on stage with you.”
Mr. @lessig once told me something along these lines about slides. I’ve been trying to follow that advice ever since.
With @webexpo just around the corner, I’m giving my talk its final polish using @deqdotio ⤵️
After 6 months of building, here’s our demo of @deqdotio: https://t.co/Q7AU6VXiQw
That's what we built in 6 months and next month we are launching version 1.0 🚀
If you have a moment, drop your feedback below ⬇️
The winning products blend AI with manual interaction so well, you don’t even notice it’s ‘AI-powered.’
They thoughtfully leverage AI rather than making it the core substance.
We’ve been designing @deqdotio with this in mind since day one.
Specifically, our interface enables you to...
👉 Use AI to accelerate smaller steps in your workflow—but stay in control at all times.
👉Step in or interrupt the generation process at any moment.
👉Compare the before and after states.
👉Accept individual pieces of generated content and discard the rest.
👉Undo and redo anything.
👉Make manual changes with ease in a full-featured editor.
Sharing the biggest roasts next time, so you can see it’s not just a success theatre.
But critical feedback pushes us to the boundaries and makes Deq better—please be demanding!
Product quality has been our priority from day one.
Building a simple, easy to use, and delightful product was the only option. I don’t care about anything else 🧵
“Great design” or “delightful product” is typically a turn off for investors.
But our Beta users recognized ”great design” immediately.
Our design principles show a clear direction and priority 💎
—“Would you recommend Deq to a colleague?”
—“Why not?”
20+ feedback sessions last month. Lots of praise. But these two questions cut through the noise.
We’ll keep shaping Deq until we never need to ask the second one.
How do you get honest feedback?
In the age of AI slop, we still sweat the details for humans 😌
Just shipped a new Deq Beta, packed with some thoughtful defaults.
Beyond better images on slides, we also enhanced fonts, shapes with text, and personalized looks.
