The origin of Keynote is supposedly the requirement to create Apple-keynote-ready presentation software that would pass the extremely specific and persnickety Jobsian requirements for aesthetics and attention to detail in an age of Powerpoint dominance. Updates notwithstanding, Keynote shows its age — but all these years on, it still produces great-looking presentations.
- gnicholas 7y agoCurious to know how it shows its age. Does PPT surpass it in some ways?
- myrandomcomment 7y agoThe application Steve used was made by Lighthouse Designs on the NeXT platform. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_Design https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_Design Some great applications. I would love to have a direct port of all of them today. Of course I also want the shelf back and I want my menus on the side like NeXT. Oh well. Keynote was created so Steve could have something that worked and looked the same as Concurrence. He would use his old NeXT to create presentation until Keynote.
