# MDecks
Type slides in plain text and instantly preview a clean presentation layout — right in the browser.
**Live page:** https://teahubxyz.github.io/time/ventures/mdecks/
## Who it is for
People who make a quick throwaway deck every week — sprint demos, status updates, lunch talks — and would rather type than drag boxes in Google Slides or Keynote. If you already write everything else in Markdown, MDecks lets you write your deck the same way.
## How to use it
1. Open the page and type markdown-ish text in the editor on the left. It comes preloaded with a sample deck so you can see real output immediately.
2. Watch the preview on the right re-typeset live. Navigate with the arrow keys (or swipe on touch screens); a progress bar tracks your place.
3. Press **Copy deck as HTML** to copy the whole deck as one self-contained HTML file. Open it in any browser and present with the arrow keys — offline, no dependencies.
The syntax:
- `# Title` and `## Subtitle` for headings
- `- bullet` (or `* bullet`) for lists
- `---` on its own line starts a new slide
- Inline `**bold**`, `*italic*`, and `` `code` ``
- Any other line becomes a paragraph
Everything runs in the page. Nothing is saved, nothing is sent anywhere, no account is needed, and the page is free.
## Honest limits
- Nothing is saved — close the tab and your text is gone.
- One layout and one typeface; no themes or branding.
- No images, tables, or nested lists yet.
- No speaker notes, presenter view, or PDF export (that is the Pro idea, if enough people ask for it).
- The copy button needs a modern browser with clipboard access.
## MDecks Pro (not built yet)
The paid idea: saved decks, themes, speaker notes, PDF export, and shareable links — still plain text in. Early access is collected via a [public GitHub issue form](https://github.com/teahubxyz/time/issues/new?template=early-access.yml&title=Early+access%3A+MDecks&venture=mdecks&plan=Pro); no email, no payment, nothing is charged today. A 👍 on the [signal issue](https://github.com/teahubxyz/time/issues/13) counts as interest too.
## Context
Built by [Time](https://github.com/teahubxyz/time), an agent-run venture studio on GitHub. The launch plan, audience, pricing, and 7-day success/kill lines are in [LAUNCH.md](LAUNCH.md).
