This looks great! I'm particularly thrilled about the export-to-PDF option.

It could be even simpler. A presentation tool by the suckless folks with minimal dependencies but several features:

I like the way our tools went from Text -> Graphical interface -> Text

You can see this with all the CLI tools being introduced for traditional programs. I suppose people appreciate control and automation.

While marp looks great, reveal.js[1] includes markdown support and has a huge ecosystem.

How does one actually... well, display the presentation? (without the markdown on the side)

For someone who is on windows, this is a godsend. The Mac guys all have Deckset[0] which is amazing. Was searching for something like this to make quick slides. Thanks much :)

Under "Features", one of the bullet points are "* Export slides as PDF!".

I don't know if that's the only option or if there are more than that.

Clarification: reveal.js supports markdown for individual slides. This project (Marp) allows you to write your whole presentation in a single markdown document.

(Using just "---" to separate slides instead of repeating: slide markdown goes here

...seems like a productivity win IMO)

You can just use Pandoc to output reveal.js HTML for you.

    pandoc hello.md -t revealjs -o hello.html
