Developer Presentation Builder

Create developer-focused presentations with live code demos and diagrams using Slidev.

10 minutes
By communitySource
#developer#slides#slidev#vue

PowerPoint can't syntax-highlight code, Google Slides screenshots look terrible at any zoom level, and your live demo will absolutely crash during the talk. You need slides that treat code as a first-class citizen.

Who it's for: developers presenting at meetups or conferences, tech leads running architecture reviews, engineering managers giving team demos, developer advocates creating technical content, educators teaching programming

Example

"Build a presentation about our new microservices architecture" → Slidev deck with syntax-highlighted code examples, live-editable demos, Mermaid architecture diagrams, and speaker notes — all version-controlled in markdown
