# Title heading · ## Subtitle · - bullet point · --- on its own line starts a new slide · inline **bold**, *italic*, `code`. Plain lines become paragraphs. Or drop a .md file anywhere on the page.

The copied file is a self-contained deck: open it in any browser and use ← / → to present. A copied link carries the deck inside it, after the #, so it opens here with nothing stored.

How it works

Type your slides

Markdown-ish text in the editor: headings, bullets, paragraphs, --- between slides. The syntax is the stuff you already type. Already have a .md file? Drop it on the page.

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.

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. Or copy a link with the whole deck inside it.

Or ask your agent

Press Copy prompt for your agent at the top, paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other agent, and ask for a deck. It answers with a link that opens here.
