## What it is
Shower is an HTML/CSS/vanilla JavaScript presentation engine for creating browser-based slide decks, with themes separated from the core engine. It includes a CLI for creating, serving, bundling, and publishing presentations, and supports keyboard navigation and PDF export.

## Use cases
- create html slide decks
- present in the browser instead of powerpoint
- export presentation to pdf
- make a themed presentation with html and css
- serve and bundle slides with a cli

## When to choose
- you want lightweight, code-friendly HTML presentations
- you need keyboard-accessible slides that work in modern browsers
- you prefer themes decoupled from the presentation engine

## When to avoid
- you need PowerPoint/Keynote-style editing or collaboration features
- you want animations and transitions comparable to native presentation apps
- you need offline desktop presentation software

- function: frontend-framework, templating, cli
