QuickSlides for Developers
The presentation tool built for engineers — write slides in Markdown, ship them like code
QuickSlides speaks your language. Write slides in Markdown, embed live code with Monaco Editor, generate architecture diagrams from text, and version-control everything in Git. No drag-and-drop. No click-and-pray. Just code. Engineers use it for architecture reviews and conference talks: quick slides from a design doc, in Markdown, with Mermaid and code blocks intact.
Get StartedA better PowerPoint alternative for developers
If you're comparing presentation apps for developers, the biggest difference is speed: QuickSlides starts from your content and workflow, while PowerPoint starts from an empty canvas. That means less time formatting slides and more time refining the story you want to tell.
Markdown-first
Write slides in plain Markdown. Every element — headings, bullets, images, code — lives in a `.md` file you can version-control.
Live code execution
Run code directly inside slides with Monaco Editor. No external sandbox. No copy-paste.
Diagrams as code
Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams from text — flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and ER models that update instantly.
Sound familiar?
WYSIWYG editors are painful
Pixel-nudging in PowerPoint or Keynote wastes hours you could spend shipping.
Code blocks look terrible everywhere else
Copy-pasting code into other slide tools loses syntax highlighting and formatting instantly.
No version control
Slides are just files — but most tools don't play nicely with Git or code review workflows.
How QuickSlides solves this
Built around the way developers actually work.
Markdown-first
Write slides in plain Markdown. Every element — headings, bullets, images, code — lives in a `.md` file you can version-control.
Live code execution
Run code directly inside slides with Monaco Editor. No external sandbox. No copy-paste.
Diagrams as code
Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams from text — flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and ER models that update instantly.
Git-friendly
Slides are `.md` files. Diff them, branch them, review them in PRs like any other code.
How it works for developers
- 1
Describe your talk
Tell QuickSlides AI what you're presenting — a tech talk, architecture review, or conference session.
- 2
AI generates the outline
QuickSlides structures slide sections, suggests code blocks, and drafts diagram skeletons.
- 3
Edit in Markdown
Paste your real code, adjust the narrative, swap diagrams — all in a plain text file.
- 4
Present or export
Live browser presentation, PDF export, or shareable URL. Your choice.
"I gave a 45-minute conference talk with QuickSlides. Live code execution in the slides absolutely wowed the audience. No other tool lets me do that."
Frequently asked questions
Can I write slides in Markdown?
Yes — every deck is Markdown under the hood. Headings become slides, code fences stay highlighted, and Mermaid or PlantUML blocks render as diagrams. You can keep the deck in Git like any other source file.
Does QuickSlides support live code execution in slides?
The editor embeds Monaco with a runner, so you can execute JavaScript and other supported runtimes directly in a slide during a demo or workshop.
How do I present an architecture review?
Start from the Technical Architecture template: context, current state, problem, proposal, trade-offs, and open questions. Paste your design doc and QuickSlides structures the sections; you reorder and trim in Markdown.
Is there a free plan for developers?
Yes. The Free plan covers one deck per month with PDF and Markdown export, no card required — enough to try a conference talk or a design review.
