There are many usability improvements that can be made to this for speed of slide creation.
Feedback
1. For me, it's not a good user experience if I have to click a button on toolbar, that opens a popup, to click through categories, and select a shape. That is too many clicks. Why aren't they just open on the left side or somewhere, especially making it easier to select in widescreens. Keyboard shortcuts fix this, but there's a learning curve.
2. If I have to create 5 different box shapes with different colors, I have to go through that process 5 times. Yes, I can create it once and duplicate it multiple times, but there should be a recently used shapes or something that makes it easier to pick. Google slides has the same issue. Keyboard shortcuts fix this, but there's a learning curve.
3. When creating a shape, I like to drag it vs. click it and have it show up on the canvas. There is no drag option in Pitch.
4. Connecting two shapes using an arrow/line should be possible from the shape on the canvas, and not by creating a new line/arrow and dragging their endpoints to connect the shapes.
Sailing has really helped me get away from it all; 'it' being the stresses of work and life. Besides the allure of open waters and beautiful sceneries, getting out of a marina, unfurling the sails, killing the motor, and then just using the wind and the water to propel a boat towards a destination is one of the most gratifying feelings I've experienced.
And then there's the myriad terminology and theory, with the various points of sails, different types sails, fine-tuning their shapes for optimizing speed, navigation rules, man overboard procedures, various knots, etc. Those, with the occasional spray of salt water, the feel of the rudder, the way the boat reacts to minor adjustments keeps the activity exciting enough to not get boring and monotonous.
