What is the benfit of doing this in the terminal over tools such as Slidev or Marp which also allow you to make slides based on Markdown? - Slidev: https://sli.dev/ - Marp: https://marp.app/

I wonder what the first incarnation of single-page markdown files for slides has been. The earliest I know of is `tslide` by Dominic Tarr, first published in 2012: https://github.com/tslide/tslide
I was curious how the larger fonts worked in Kitty -- here's the reference for the protocol: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/text-sizing-protocol/

I used Presenterm for a work presentation recently. Being able to seamlessly transition from slides to example code in Vim is really, really nice. No need to jungle multiple windows, just terminal tabs or even ctrl+z/fg. Plus it looks really cool.

I had a few code examples to massage out of a codebase, so I fired up vim to make them simpler/clearer before I'd put them in Keynote.
Then I started taking a few notes in a scratch buffer. After a few moments I began to dread having to move that content over and format in the UI and all.
... And then it dawned on me that I could just use vim itself as the presentation tool!
- one tab per slide, one file per tab
- gt/gT (:tabnext :tabprev) to move through
- ,z (junegunn/goyo :Goyo) for a "hudless" display
- splits and :terminal on live demo time
- ,b (junegunn/fzf.vim :Buffers) to jump to any "slide" on question time (just name files appropriately)
- prepare the whole thing and save session with :mksession

I've used both of these a lot, Marp being really easy to get started with and Slidev being a little more complex but well worth the (minor) effort. To me, presenterm doesn't appear to offer any compelling features compared with these.
It's super cool and I want to love it, but I find it too fiddly to get the layout the way I want it. For me it might be easier to just page through a plain text file of ascii art style diagrams or something.
I've always been just absolutely dog shit at design stuff. I can't center a div to save my life and I don't understand columns. I need it to be absolutely idiot proof because I'm an absolute idiot when it comes to these things.
I guess this is my attempt at encouragement for folks to keep working on these tools because I love the aesthetic but I just can't grok the interface. I will continue to watch this project with interest!
I've been creating slides with markdown and revealjs for my day job as an instructor for several years. I've also used obsidian and quarto for markdown->slide creation for a handful of meetups / conferences. This month I tried writing a kubecon talk using presenterm and had to throw in the towl after a couple hours of struggling.
