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.

-
-

The copied file is a self-contained deck: open it in any browser and use ← / → to present.

Why this exists

-

Plain-text-in, document-out tools are having a week. MDecks rides these repos, trending on GitHub this week:

-
- storytold/wordcraft - ★ 5,496 stars -

Proof that people want prose in, polished output out — no canvas-dragging required.

-
-
- storytold/gridcraft - ★ 2,749 stars -

Structured text becoming layout: the same bet MDecks makes for slides.

-
-
- storytold/cadcraft - ★ 2,552 stars -

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.
