Slidown – Markdown to PowerPoint in pure Go, no AI in generation

Slidown is a Go-based CLI tool that converts Markdown files into PowerPoint (.pptx) presentations using a pure Go OOXML writer, requiring no third-party Office dependencies. It is designed as a sibling project to k1LoW/deck for Google Slides, sharing the same Markdown format and element mapping. Key features include incremental rebuilds that preserve manual edits on unchanged slides, the ability to freeze slides to prevent future regeneration, and key-based matching for stable ordering across renames or reordering. Installation is available via Homebrew or go install. Use slidown to generate slides programmatically from Markdown, ideal for version-controlled presentations or CI/CD pipelines.
