slides.rs#

A modern, fast, terminal presentation tool inspired by maaslalani/slides, built with Rust.

Design Principles#

Color as Data: All color use flows through typed wrappers using owo-colors. No ad-hoc ANSI escapes.

Themeable: Multiple built-in color schemes (basic, monokai, dracula, solarized, nord) with automatic light/dark variant detection based on terminal background. Themes can be selected via frontmatter, CLI flags, or environment variables, with optional explicit variant override using :light or :dark suffix.

Reproducible: Everything is reproducible in plain text — decks can render without TUI (using slides print).

Composable: Parser → Model → Renderer are independent modules with tests and traits.

Portable: Runs on any terminal supporting UTF-8; dependencies limited to core crates.
