## What it is
Patat is a terminal-based presentation tool that renders slideshows from Markdown and other Pandoc-supported formats directly in an ANSI terminal. It offers syntax highlighting, live reloading, speaker notes, incremental slide display, and theming without requiring graphical dependencies.

## Use cases
- present slides from markdown in the terminal
- give a talk without leaving the command line
- convert markdown to a slideshow presentation
- present rst or org-mode files as slides
- live-edit slides while presenting
- show speaker notes on a second terminal

## When to choose
- you want to present from a terminal or over SSH with no GUI
- your slides are already in Markdown, rST, or Org-mode
- you value lightweight, portable tooling with syntax highlighting and live reload

## When to avoid
- you need rich graphics, videos, or heavy image support in slides
- you need to share polished visual decks with non-technical audiences
- you require PowerPoint/Keynote-style collaboration or export formats
