Thanks for sharing. I am interested in browsing through it!
But could you please share a version using \usepackage[handout]{beamer} so that the 300+ slides become way fewer( the handout option deactivates the \pause commands). Thanks for this :)

I have just finished rereading the LOTR. Mordor was different in my imagination!

thanks Reza. Yes I did look at sioyek it in the past, but then I noticed it is kind of abandoned (last updated in 2022) so not up-to-date in terms of safety features
