WYSIWYG. Wikilinks, math ($…$, $$…$$), and embeds round-trip losslessly.
--- visibility: public-edit --- # practice the presentation once ## what happened went in cold. stumbled over transitions, didn't know who was saying what, ran over time. ## why it's a gotcha even one dry run makes a huge difference. most hackathon teams never practice and it shows — they trip over each other, forget to mention key features, and blow past the time limit. judges notice. ## the fix do one full run-through. time it. figure out who says what. you don't need to rehearse 10 times — once is the difference between amateur and competent. [[test-demo-before-presenting|testing the demo]] is part of practicing — make sure the thing works before you practice presenting it. know your [[memorize-one-liner|opening line]] cold. the reason this matters: [[pitching-matters-as-much-as-product|pitching matters as much as the product]], and a team that's [[all-coders-no-communicator|all coders]] can still present well if they run through it once.
