## What it is
Spectacle is a React-based library for building presentation decks as code using JSX or Markdown/MDX syntax. It supports interactive slides, theming, and live code demos without leaving the presentation.

## Use cases
- create slide decks in react
- make presentations with jsx
- live demo code during a talk
- build slides from markdown
- replace powerpoint with code-based slides
- add interactive elements to presentations

## When to choose
- you want presentations as code with version control
- you need to live-demo code inside your slides
- your team already works in React
- you want interactive, themed slides

## When to avoid
- you need a simple drag-and-drop slide editor
- you need offline non-web export like PowerPoint files
- you are not comfortable with React or JavaScript

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: presentations, slides, react, jsx, mdx, live-coding, keynote, presentation-deck, nodejs, web-server
