## What it is
mdx-deck is a React-based framework for creating presentation slides using MDX (Markdown + JSX components). It offers zero-config setup, theming via Theme UI, and can be used as a Gatsby theme.

## Use cases
- create presentation slides with markdown
- build a talk deck using React components
- make a keynote presentation from MDX files
- generate a slideshow website with zero config
- embed live React demos inside slides
- theme a slide deck with Theme UI

## When to choose
- you want to write slides in Markdown but embed React components
- you want a code-driven, zero-config presentation tool
- you want programmable theming for your deck

## When to avoid
- you need a simple WYSIWYG presentation editor
- you don't work in the JavaScript/React ecosystem
- you need offline desktop presentation software like PowerPoint
