Show HN: Slidum – A player for the HTML presentations AI writes

Slidum, a new web player for HTML presentations generated by AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT, launches with a free tier and a $6/month Pro plan. The service lets users paste AI-written slide decks, share them via browser links without downloads or accounts, and control access by email or public link. Slidum aims to solve the problem of AI-made presentations that end up as unopened files or raw HTML in chats.

The Downloads graveyard

deck-final-v3.html, deck-final-FINAL.html, deck-real-final.html. Beautiful decks, buried in a folder nobody reopens. The player for AI-made decks

Paste the HTML Claude or ChatGPT wrote. It plays as a real presentation and turns into a link anyone opens in the browser — no download, no account. You decide who gets in.

The problem

A deck the AI made in seconds, and nowhere good to send it.

deck-final-v3.html, deck-final-FINAL.html, deck-real-final.html. Beautiful decks, buried in a folder nobody reopens. You send a file and a paragraph of instructions. Half your audience never opens it.

Dropped into a chat, your deck shows up as raw HTML. The magic never loads.

Lights down

Open the link and the lights go down — the real player takes over: arrow keys, slide thumbnails, full screen, and the counter in the corner.

Everything after the file

Organize

Every deck your AI hands back lands in one place, named and ready to play — yours and the ones people share with you.

Send a link that opens right in the browser — no download, no account. The deck runs in a sandbox, with no access to your data or the network.

Control

Invite people by email or turn on the public link. Turn it off and the old address stops working on the spot.

One prompt teaches Claude or ChatGPT the format — every deck comes out ready to play, arrows and all.
