Slidev — presentation slides for developers. Markdown-driven, Vue-powered, code-friendly. From the Vue / Vite ecosystem (Anthony Fu).

What it is

A TypeScript + Vue + Vite slide deck framework where slides are Markdown files. Adds code-aware features (syntax highlighting, line highlights), Vue components inline, presenter mode, drawing/annotation, export to PDF / PNG / SPA. Built by Anthony Fu (Vue / Vite / VueUse core team). Used heavily for tech talks and developer demos.

Key features

Markdown-driven slides (.md files with frontmatter).
Syntax highlighting + line highlights for code-heavy talks.
Vue components inline in slides.
Presenter mode + camera overlay.
Drawing / annotation during presentation.
Export to PDF, PNG, SPA.
MIT-licensed.

Tech stack

TypeScript primary.
Vue 3 + Vite.

When to reach for it

You're a developer giving tech talks and want code-rendering quality.
You want version-controlled, text-based slide decks.
You're already in the Vue / Vite ecosystem.

When not to reach for it

You're a non-coder needing GUI slide creation — Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides.
You want complex animations — Reveal.js or commercial tools may fit better.

Maturity signal

Actively maintained under Anthony Fu's stewardship + the broader Vue ecosystem. License clean.

Alternatives

Reveal.js — HTML-flavored alternative.
