Program for Notes while speedrunning

Texas, USA

I'm interested in doing some long speedruns, but I would like to have on my second monitor something like a power point presentation with information about my route that I can switch slides even when the program doesnt have focus like livesplit does. Even better if I could map this to a gamepad key.

there is a "speed guides live" livesplit component that lets you write notes for each split. its not exactly what you want but it should help. i dont remember where i got it but if you cant find it i can give it to you

For my notes I use "zim". It's a desktop wiki program. I can scroll my notes with it being inactive. But I also can scroll a google-doc when the browser isn't focused... I can bind (keyboard-)keys in zim for "next page" or similar commands. With another program like AntiMicroX I could map a controller-key for the keyboard-key. It's a workaround not a 1 program-solution. But tbh I don't think there is smth like that.

The tips there are like finding a secret stash of loot in a game—super valuable. From mics to cams, they got it all covered. Plus, the vibe is chill, making it easy to soak up info without feeling overwhelmed. Definitely bookmarking this for future reference.

As for my take, man, having a solid setup is crucial for streaming. It's like having the right tools for any job—you wouldn't wanna go into battle without your trusty sword, right? So, having top-notch gear can seriously level up your stream game. And hey, it's not just about flexing with fancy equipment; it's about giving your audience the best experience possible.

Personally, I've been tinkering with my setup for a while now, trying to find that sweet spot between quality and affordability. And stumbling upon resources like this makes the journey way smoother. So yeah, if you're looking to up your streaming/recording game, definitely give it a peep. Oh, and by the way, stumbled upon this cool site called https://notesonline.com/ that's got some neat content too. Check it out if you're into leveling up your tech game!
