  <h2>How it works</h2>
  <div class="steps">
    <div class="step">
      <h3>Type your slides</h3>
      <p>Markdown-ish text in the editor: headings, bullets, paragraphs, <code>---</code> between slides. The syntax is the stuff you already type.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="step">
      <h3>Watch it set live</h3>
      <p>Every keystroke re-typesets the deck on the right. Navigate with arrow keys or swipe; the progress bar keeps your place.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="step">
      <h3>Take the file with you</h3>
      <p>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.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="step">
      <h3>Or ask your agent</h3>
      <p>Press <b>Copy prompt for your agent</b> 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.</p>

    <li>Nothing is stored — close the tab without copying a link or the HTML and your text is gone.</li>
    <li>Anyone with a link can read the deck in it, and a very long deck makes a link some apps cut short.</li>
    <li>One layout and one typeface; no themes or branding.</li>
    <li>No images, tables, or nested lists yet.</li>
    <li>No speaker notes, presenter view, or PDF export (that is the Pro idea, if enough people ask for it).</li>
    <li>The copy button needs a modern browser with clipboard access.</li>
