🛠 Slidown: Creating presentations from Markdown without AI
The 'slidown' CLI utility, written in Go, has been released to generate PowerPoint (.pptx) files directly from Markdown files. The tool operates without using AI, relying instead on pure programmatic OOXML generation. Its main feature is support for incremental updates: when rerun, only changed slides are updated, preserving the user's manual edits.
🌍 The project confirms the trend of using lightweight and fast tools (Go, CLI) to automate processes without unnecessary AI dependencies.
👤 It allows for quickly turning technical documentation into slides, maintaining flexibility through a 'freeze' function and the ability for subsequent editing.
