Saving time, money and sanity by Pythonizing Google Slides
summary
Automates Google Slides generation by running Python code and filling Ginger templates to produce full decks (images, charts, dates, currency) from a customer UID and warehouse queries; uses a modular plugin system with Streamlit/CLI triggers, a strftime plugin, and screenshotting for visuals. Replaces manual edits across more than 30-slide proposals that sales teams duplicate daily, produces a live Slides link on launch, is open source on GitHub and published to PyPI, and demonstrably works in production at the company.
