What it does
Most people read off a Google Doc on a second monitor and scroll by hand. Go off-script and you're lost. Promptly fixes that: 1. Scrolls with your voice, not a timer. The line you're saying is lit up. 2. Auto-recovers when you wander. Answer a question, come back, it finds your place. 3. Outline mode for longer talks. Trigger cues on demand. 4. Invisible on screen share (macOS content protection). 5. Drop [[slide:next]] or [[app:Keynote]] inline. Your script becomes your remote.
Paste your script, click Go Live, and just talk. Promptly scrolls with your voice, waits when you pause, and stays invisible when you share your screen. The script follows the words you're saying, not a fixed pace. Pause, slow down, speed up — it keeps up with you. Went off-script? Promptly finds your place again the moment you return — no tapping, no scrolling back by hand. Drop inline reminders — "share screen now," "pause for questions" — and Promptly nudges you the moment you get there. Word-for-word delivery gets voice tracking. Longer talks and keynotes get outline mode — scroll yourself, trigger cues on demand, glance at the whole structure. Plain text, pasted in. No formatting, no…from trypromptly.io

NotchieDec 2025 · notchie.app · ▲301Hey HN! 3-4 weeks ago I was trying to record a webinar for another side project. Screen recording, full screen presentation, talking through slides — should be simple. Except I kept forgetting what I wanted to say. And every time I glanced at my notes, it was obvious on camera. Worse — when recording full screen, there's nowhere to put notes without them being captured. Tried a few teleprompter apps. They either covered half my screen, scrolled at a fixed speed I couldn't match, or showed up in the recording. So I thought: I've been a full-stack dev for 20+ years. Never touched Swift or…

CopresentJul 2026 · copresent.app · ▲123Hi HN, I'm the maker of Copresent. It does two things: 1. Turns your phone into a Google Slides remote. Open a link, swipe to advance, and read your speaker notes off the phone while you walk around the room. No dongle. 2. Lets several people drive the same live deck. You share one link. Up to 10 co-presenters can take control from any browser, on any device - no install and no account for anyone but the host. I built it because Google locked native co-presenting behind paid Workspace tiers (Business Standard and up). If you're on a free account like most students or small teams - there's no…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
