REVIEW BEFORE ADOPTION
Trust REVIEW · 70/100
Good fit if

Developers who want to write and manage presentation slides as version-controlled Markdown in their preferred code editors

Watch out for

You require an entirely GUI-based presentation editor and do not want to install Node.js, write Markdown, or work with a command-line interface

Practical intelligence

What matters before you adopt it

Problem it solves

The difficulty of showcasing rich, interactive, syntax-highlighted, and live-running code snippets or custom web elements inside traditional, static, GUI-based slide presentation software.

Best for
Developers who want to write and manage presentation slides as version-controlled Markdown in their preferred code editors
Presenters requiring live code execution, syntax highlighting, and interactive custom web components integrated directly into their slides
Main trade-offs
You require an entirely GUI-based presentation editor and do not want to install Node.js, write Markdown, or work with a command-line interface
Why it stands out
Provides extremely fast, instant hot-reloading of slide content during editing powered by Vite
Includes robust built-in presentation utilities such as LaTeX math formatting, text-to-diagram Mermaid rendering, on-screen drawing annotations, and direct camera/slide recording
Supports modular design customization through shareable npm-packaged themes and utility-first CSS styling

Security notes
Still unknown
• The README does not explicitly list any operational trade-offs, performance limitations, or design constraints of the software, leaving the trade_offs array empty.
• The specific CLI command to initialize or bootstrap a new local project is missing from the 'Init Project Locally' text block (it cuts off after 'run the following command:' directly to documentation links).
• No security parameters, asset privacy protocols, sandboxing limits, or permission configurations are described in the README text.
Adoption guidance▼
Adopt if
+ You are a developer or technical presenter who wants to write slides as code, display math equations, and run code live in a browser environment
+ You want a slide deck system that integrates seamlessly with Vue 3 components and standard frontend tools like Vite
Avoid if
– You require an entirely GUI-based presentation editor and do not want to install Node.js, write Markdown, or work with a command-line interface
How it works & getting started▼
How it works
1.The user writes slide content and structures presentation pages inside a Markdown file
2.The local server processes the file, applying custom Vue components, Iconify icon sets, and KaTeX math formulas
3.The Vite-powered local engine compiles the slides, rendering them on a hot-reloading development server in the browser
4.The presenter runs the slide show in Presenter Mode, optionally controlling it using another window or a mobile device
5.If needed, the user records their session with the built-in camera overlay or exports the deck to static formats like PDF, PNG, or PPTX
Getting started
→ Try Slidev instantly online without installing anything by visiting sli.dev/new
→ Install Node.js version 20.12.0 or higher on your local development machine
→ Review the example project in the 'demo' folder of the repository to learn how a complete presentation is structured
