The composing room — try it now
You type
# Title · ## Subtitle · - bullet ·
--- alone starts a new slide · inline **bold**, *italic*, `code`.
It typesets
Arrow keys or swipe to navigate. The copied file is one self-contained deck: open it in any browser, present with ← / →. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.
How it works
1.
Type your slides
Markdown-ish text in the box: headings, bullets, paragraphs, --- between slides. The syntax is the stuff you already type.
2.
Watch it set live
Every keystroke re-typesets the deck on the right. Navigate with arrow keys or swipe; the progress bar keeps your place.
3.
Take the file with you
One button copies the deck as a single self-contained HTML file. Open it anywhere, present it offline, email it, done.
Why this exists
Plain-text-in, document-out tools are having a week. MDecks rides these repos, trending on GitHub this week:
Proof that people want prose in, polished output out — no canvas-dragging required.
Structured text becoming layout: the same bet MDecks makes for slides.
Even geometry is going plain-text. Your weekly status deck can too.

Honest limits
- Nothing is saved — close the tab and your text is gone. Copy the HTML or paste your source somewhere safe.
- One layout, one typeface, no themes. The deck looks like this page, not like your brand.
- No images, tables, or nested lists yet — headings, bullets, paragraphs, and inline emphasis only.
- No speaker notes, no presenter view, no PDF export. That is the Pro idea, if enough people ask for it.
- The copy button needs a modern browser with clipboard access; on very old browsers it may silently fail.
