## Target Audience
118+
119+
Manim Slides was developed with the goal of making educational content more
120+
accessible than ever. We believe that researchers, professors, teaching
121+
assistants and anyone else who needs to teach scientific content can benefit
122+
from using this tool. The ability to pace your presentation yourself is
123+
essential, and Manim Slides gives you that ability.

125+
## A Need for Portability
126+
127+
One of the major concerns with presenting content in a non-standard format
128+
(i.e., not just a plain PDF) is the issue of portability.
129+
Depending on the programs available, the power of the target computer,
130+
or the access to the internet, not all solutions are equal.
131+
From the same configuration file, Manim Slides offers a series of solutions to
132+
share your slides, which we discuss on our
133+
[Sharing your slides](https://jeertmans.github.io/manim-slides/reference/sharing.html)
134+
page.
