## What it is
lookatme is an interactive, extensible terminal-based markdown presentation tool written in Python. It renders markdown files as slides with syntax highlighting, live reloading, embedded terminals, and support for contrib extensions.

## Use cases
- present slides from a markdown file in the terminal
- give a tech talk without leaving the command line
- embed live terminal demos directly into presentation slides
- auto-reload slides while editing the markdown source
- progressively reveal slide content with stop comments
- apply custom themes to terminal presentations

## When to choose
- you want to present markdown slides without leaving the terminal
- you need live terminal demos embedded in your slides
- you prefer lightweight, text-based presentations over GUI tools like PowerPoint
- you want slides that reload automatically as you edit the markdown

## When to avoid
- you need rich graphics, images, or animations in slides
- you require PDF or PowerPoint export
- your audience needs a web-based or GUI presentation experience
