## What it is
Slides is a terminal-based presentation tool written in Go that renders markdown files as slide decks directly in the terminal. It supports live reloading, stdin input, code execution inside slides, and pre-processing of slide content via external commands.

## Use cases
- present slides from the terminal
- turn markdown files into presentations
- present code-heavy talks without leaving the terminal
- run code examples live during a presentation
- pipe markdown from curl into a slideshow
- pre-process diagrams into ascii art for slides

## When to choose
- you live in the terminal and want lightweight, keyboard-driven presentations
- your slides are markdown and include code snippets you want to execute
- you want live-reloading decks edited in any text editor
- you need a dependency-free tool installable via brew, snap, or go install

## When to avoid
- you need rich visuals, images, or animations in your slides
- you need to share decks with non-technical audiences expecting PowerPoint or Keynote
- you want PDF or web export of your presentation
- you need collaborative or cloud-based slide editing
