Nudge for Presenters

Keep slide notes on your screen, not the audience's. Script live demos and keynotes with an always-visible HUD. No paper. No second monitor hack.

The problem with presenting and notes

You're on stage. Slides are advancing. Your notes are on paper — and you just lost your place. Or worse: you're sharing your screen and the audience can see your presenter notes because the window isn't positioned right.

Presenters need notes that are visible to them but invisible to the audience. Paper shuffling looks unprofessional. Second monitors aren't always available. And switching to presenter view during a live demo breaks the illusion.

Nudge floats your notes as a thin banner above every window. Position it on your private monitor. The audience sees your slides. You see your script.

How presenters use Nudge

Keynote speaker notes

Script your opening, transitions, stories, and closing. Each segment as a task. Advance with a keyboard shortcut. Never lose your place on stage.

Live demo script

Number each demo step. "Open the dashboard. Click Reports. Select Q3." Nudge keeps the sequence visible above your demo window. The audience sees only the demo.

Webinar talking points

Keep your agenda, key points, and transitions visible during webinars. Multi-monitor support means your notes stay on your laptop while the webinar runs on the main display.

Conference Q&A prep

Anticipate questions. List your prepared responses as bullet points. Reference them during Q&A without looking at your phone or notes app.

Why Nudge fits a presenter's workflow

Notes on your screen, not the audience's. Place Nudge on your private monitor while presenting on a projector or shared screen. The audience never sees your notes.

Multi-monitor support. Pick which monitor Nudge appears on. Notes on your laptop screen. Slides on the projector. No overlap.

Auto-hide when not needed. Between slides, Nudge shrinks to 6 px. Hover to reveal. Zero visual clutter during full-screen presentations.

Keyboard-driven advance. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N moves to the next talking point. No mouse. No fumbling. Pure muscle memory.

No internet dependency. Conference WiFi is unreliable. Nudge reads a local file. No cloud. No loading. Works offline.

Sample presenter task file

# PyCon 2026 — Lightning Talk
## Pre-Show Checklist
1. Test lapel mic with AV team
2. Advance to slide 1 — confirm resolution
3. Share screen with presenter view ON
4. Start screen recording
Slides: [Rust + Python Interop](https://slides.com/user/pycon2026)
## Talk Flow
* Opening: "Rust found a bug that Python hid for 3 years."
* Problem: serialization took 30s per request. Unacceptable.
* Solution: wrote a Rust extension. 0.3s. 100x improvement.
* Demo: show before/after benchmark live.
## Demo Sequence
[ ] Open terminal — split screen with slides
[ ] Run baseline: python slow_parser.py — watch clock
[ ] Switch to Rust: python fast_parser.py — show sub-second
## Q&A Prep
* "Why not Cython?" — 400-line parser. Rust was simpler.
* "Works on Windows?" — Yes. CI tests all three platforms.
* "What about async?" — Extension runs off the main thread.

Stop shuffling paper. Keep your notes on screen where they belong.
