## What it is
present is a terminal-based presentation tool written in Python that renders Markdown slide decks with colors and visual effects, built on asciimatics. Slides are written in Markdown, separated by '---', and navigated with keyboard controls.

## Use cases
- give a presentation from the terminal
- create slides in markdown and present them in a shell
- present code demos with pre-recorded codios
- make ascii-art style slide decks with effects
- present without leaving the command line

## When to choose
- you want to present markdown slides directly in a terminal
- you prefer text-based, keyboard-driven presentations
- you want a lightweight pip-installable slide tool with colors and effects

## When to avoid
- you need rich graphical slides with images, animations, or custom fonts
- you need effects and colors or effects and code on the same slide (unsupported)
- you need collaborative or web-based presentation features

- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, markdown, terminal-ui
- domain: developer-tools, documentation
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
