## What it is
mdp is a command-line based markdown presentation tool written in C using ncurses. It renders markdown files as terminal slides, using horizontal rulers as slide separators and supporting basic markdown formatting.

## Use cases
- present slides from markdown in the terminal
- give a talk without leaving the command line
- convert markdown notes into a slide deck
- present code-heavy slides over ssh
- preview markdown presentations before exporting to pdf

## When to choose
- you want lightweight, keyboard-driven presentations in a terminal
- you present over ssh or on minimal systems without a GUI
- your slides are already in markdown

## When to avoid
- you need rich visuals, images, or animations in slides
- you want collaborative or web-based presentation editing
- you need extensive markdown extension support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: markdown, cli, terminal-ui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, documentation
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: presentation, markdown-slides, ncurses, slides, command-line, linux, macos
