Slaide

Slaide is a software project that provides tooling for creating and presenting slide decks. It is designed to be lightweight and efficient, with an emphasis on fast authoring and easy sharing of presentations. The term Slaide is used for several implementations within the software ecosystem, including open-source and commercial variants that aim to help users generate slides that can be viewed in a web browser or distributed as self-contained packages.

Typical goals of Slaide implementations include enabling a straightforward workflow for producing slides, often from plain text or markup, and rendering those slides into a coherent slideshow. Depending on the variant, features may include a straightforward authoring interface, the ability to customize appearance through themes, and options to export or publish decks for web delivery or offline use. Some versions may offer live editing, version control integration, or collaboration capabilities, while others focus on single-user, offline workflows.

In practice, Slaide projects have appealed to developers, educators, and presenters who value speed and simplicity in slide creation. Community activity around the name has led to a range of tooling approaches, from minimal, dependency-light solutions to more feature-rich environments. When evaluating a Slaide option, users typically consider compatibility with their preferred workflow, the level of abstraction from raw content, and how well the tool integrates with their publishing or presentation habits.
