We developers love coding but hate making slides. What if you could create presentations the same way you write code?

Key Points

Pain points of traditional tools (PowerPoint, Canva)

• Struggles with code presentation (manual formatting, screenshots, no copy-paste).
• Slow and bloated experience, especially with large media/animations.
• Bad version control—no commit history, no quick rollbacks, and conflict resolution is painful.

Why developers should switch to sli.dev

• Built-in syntax highlighting and live coding for easier showcases.
• Write slides like code and stay productive in familiar editors.
• Git-friendly

Impact

• Know: Traditional WYSIWYG slide tools are not optimized for developers.
• Believe: sli.dev makes presentations better for developers and makes developers’ presentations better.
• Do: Start using sli.dev for your next tech talk!
