Cleaver is a Node.js CLI tool that turns Markdown documents into interactive HTML slide presentations. Slides are written in Markdown separated by `--`, with optional metadata for author info, custom styles, and themes.

Use cases

  • create html slideshows from markdown
  • quick presentation generator for developers
  • turn markdown into slides
  • make a slideshow without powerpoint
  • generate presentation html from a text file
  • write tech talks in markdown

When to choose

  • you want fast, minimal HTML slides from plain Markdown
  • you prefer writing presentations in a text editor and version-controlling them
  • you need a simple default-styled deck with optional custom CSS or themes

When to avoid

  • you need PowerPoint-style rich editing, animations, or speaker notes
  • you need collaborative or cloud-based presentation tools
  • you need actively developed features - the project has seen no releases since 2021
