## What it is
Polylux is a Typst package for creating presentation slides, analogous to LaTeX's beamer, producing PDF pages that can be shown as a slideshow. It supports fully customizable slides, dynamic overlay content, and pdfpc speaker-note integration.

## Use cases
- create presentation slides with typst
- make a beamer-like slideshow in typst
- build dynamic slides with overlays that reveal content
- generate a 16:9 pdf presentation from code
- add speaker notes and pdfpc support to typst slides
- prepare conference talk slides without powerpoint

## When to choose
- you already write documents in Typst and want code-based slides
- you prefer declarative, hack-free slide creation over LaTeX beamer
- you need dynamic overlays and pdfpc presenter support in PDF output

## When to avoid
- you need beamer-level maturity or a large theme ecosystem
- you require backwards compatibility across versions, as the API changes freely
- you want WYSIWYG editing rather than markup-based authoring

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating, pdf, documentation
- domain: web-development, documentation, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: typst, typst-package, presentation-slides, beamer-alternative, pdf-slides, overlays, pdfpc-support
