Edit and present slides in Markdown with AI

Pavel Kordík released Slaidy, a MIT-licensed, single-file, dependency-free WYSIWYG editor and presenter for Markdown-based slide decks that runs entirely in the browser, with no uploads and exports files the user owns. The tool renders figures as SVG rather than bitmaps, keeping decks readable to humans, git, and AI; a 237-slide deck with 180 figures compresses to 1 megabyte versus 34 MB as .pptx. AI features are optional and run on CESNET e-INFRA CZ capacity, with users able to supply their own endpoint.

A WYSIWYG editor and presenter for decks written in markdown. Nothing is uploaded; everything stays in this browser, and Export always gives you files you own. Source on GitHub — MIT, one file, no dependencies. Built by

Pavel Kordík. Figures are SVG, never bitmaps — a deck has to stay readable to you, to git and to the AI you ask to redraw something. 237 slides and 180 figures come to a megabyte, where the same deck as .pptx

is 34. The same bet as pbook, a book its readers and a model extend together.

To open a whole presentation, pick the one .json file in decks/.

decks/great-convergence.json

— it carries all 237 slides and every figure in one file. The AI here runs on capacity from CESNET e-INFRA CZ, with thanks. Nothing on this page needs it — the editor, the presenter and the exports all work without any AI at all. To use it, put your own endpoint under

Also accepted, dropped anywhere on this window: one or more .md

files, a whole folder

of them (including a p-book content directory), and .svg files, which join the figure library.
