Slidev

Slidev is a presentation slides framework for developers, created by Anthony Fu (a core team member of Vue.js and Vite). With over 9,600 stars as of 2026, Slidev enables developers to create beautiful, interactive presentations using Markdown and Vue components, with live coding support and developer-friendly tooling. Key features include: Markdown-based slide authoring (separating slides with --- delimiter, with support for frontmatter per slide), Vue component embedding directly in slides (enabling reactive data, interactive demos, and custom animations), UnoCSS/WindiCSS integration for styling slides with utility classes (Tailwind-compatible syntax), code blocks with syntax highlighting via Shiki and Prisma, with live coding support (code blocks can be editable and runnable via Monaco Editor integration), presenter mode with separate windows for notes and current/next slide preview, drawing and annotations on slides (pen, eraser, arrow tools), export to PDF, PNG, and SPA (Single Page Application), recording and export to video, themes system (with built-in themes: seriph, apple-basic, bricks, dracula, and community themes), animations and transitions (CSS-based, via the transition frontmatter), Mermaid diagram integration for flowcharts and sequence diagrams, LaTeX math rendering via KaTeX, code highlighting with diff highlighting, and SPA deployment to Netlify, Vercel, or any static host. Slidev uses Vite for instant hot module replacement during presentation editing.
