My Library: Slideshow: Figure and Presentation Tools

For my first exploration of a Racket library I chose Slideshow: Figure and Presentation Tools which builds slides based of the code you input. This seems like a very powerful library for people wishing to create a slidshow very quickly and without dealing with complex styling. Overall, I didn't really enjoy this library very much but it was a cool first project to segway into Racket libraries. "Slide" creates a new slide for the slideshow, and #:title is self-explanatory, but adds a title to the top of the page. Each "item" is a bullet point on the slide show. I believe you can add images to using this library, but I couldn't figure it out.
