SYNRG Live What it is Get it

Type the code
on the screen

No app, no sign-in, no name. Just the characters the room is looking at.

Most people scan the QR on the screen instead. This is for when you can't.

What it is

A slide has one job
and three masters

It has to be readable from the back row, carry enough detail to be useful, and remind the speaker what comes next. It cannot do all three, so it does all three badly — type shrinks so the detail fits, the detail is too shallow to be worth reading, and the speaker ends up reading their own slides aloud to a room that is already ahead of them.

Meanwhile the room is at maybe a third of its capacity. Two hundred people are following along, but the thing that would actually help a particular person — the fuller passage, the citation, the counter-argument, the answer to the question they are too self-conscious to ask — cannot go on the screen, because the screen belongs to everyone.

01

The screen

The headline. Few words, enormous type, one idea. A billboard, not a document — readable by the person furthest away. When the room is asked something, this is where the answer appears, all at once, so the room sees itself.

02

Their phones

The depth. The full text, the whole passage rather than the fragment, the sources, the further reading behind a tap. Attention in a room is never uniform — some people are with you, some are ahead, some are chewing on something you said four minutes ago. One screen can only serve the median.

03

Your notes

The spoken word. Stories, transitions, timing, the reason this slide follows that one. Private, and they stay private — they are stage directions, and they never reach a phone.

What comes back goes up on the screen live. You approve what reaches the big screen for readings and open text — not because people are hostile, but because a screen is a commitment and some honest answers should be read out rather than displayed.

If a question doesn't change what you say next, cut it.

The part people thank you for

They keep the talk,
not just the evening

People take notes in the moment and lose them by Thursday. Here the notes live on their phone, land inside the section they were written in, and export with the talk around them. That is the difference between a good evening and something that changes a week.

And the deck builds itself. Describe a talk — or hand over the manuscript — and every slide face is designed in your visual language, with a minimum type size enforced in three separate places. The system will shrink a slide's whole layout rather than let one line be unreadable from row twelve.

What happens to what people type

Anonymity is
what makes it honest

The moment someone thinks their answer is attributable, you get the answer they think you want. So nothing in the room is attached to a name, and this is a promise about plumbing rather than policy:

No accounts for the audience
Nobody signs in to join a room. No names, no email, no app. Scan, tap, in.
Notes never reach a server
Anything written on a phone stays on that phone and deletes itself after 24 hours.
Answers are deleted after 90 days
They are other people's words, given to a room on the understanding that they were passing.
Private answers are private at the database
A private commitment is invisible to everyone but the presenter — enforced in the database, not by an application being well behaved.

SYNRG is being used for real talks while it is finished. If you speak to rooms and this sounds like the thing you have been missing, leave your details and you will hear when it opens up.
