Slidev 101: Coding presentations with Markdown

Slidev is an open-source, Vue.js-based presentation framework that lets developers create slide decks with Markdown, YAML frontmatter, HTML, CSS, and reusable Vue components, offering a code-centered alternative to tools such as Keynote, Google Slides, and Slides.com. It supports Git-based version control and collaboration, offline-friendly development, customizable themes, hot reloading, speaker notes, syntax-highlighted and click-animated code examples, interactive components, images, footnotes, and per-slide styling. A Slidev project can be initialized with npm, with a primary slides.md file containing the deck’s content and configuration, then run locally in a browser. Additional capabilities include light and dark theme modes, browser-based presenter mode accessible from other devices, and export to PDF or PNG using Playwright, while static deployments and automated exports can be managed through CI workflows and hosting platforms such as Vercel or Netlify.
