## What it is
Vimdeck is a Ruby command-line tool that converts markdown files into slide decks presented inside the Vim text editor. It generates one file per slide with keybindings for navigation, supporting a limited markdown subset including headings, images, and fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting.

## Use cases
- give presentations from the terminal using vim
- convert markdown files into slides
- present code-heavy talks with syntax highlighting
- make ascii art slides in vim
- avoid powerpoint by presenting in the editor

## When to avoid
- you need rich markdown features like lists, block quotes, or tables in slides
- you want graphical presentations with animations or embedded media
- you are not comfortable using vim for navigation

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, markdown, templating, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cli, cross-platform, windows
- tags: vim, presentations, slides, ascii-art, markdown-slides, terminal, command-line, macos, linux
