Glideshow ^alpha

Slides you own. A Google Slides–style editor whose decks are plain HTML folders you keep, that AI agents can read and edit alongside you.

A deck is deck.html plus assets/: each slide a <section>, everything on it a positioned box on a 1920 × 1080 canvas. The editor reads and writes that file, an agent can edit it directly (the editor follows live), and the folder presents in any browser. Every save is a version in git.

Install

Needs Python 3.10+ and Chrome; macOS, Linux and Windows.

$ uv tool install glideshow
$ glideshow                        # the home screen: your decks (in ~/decks)
$ glideshow new "Lab meeting"      # a new deck, opened in the editor
$ glideshow build lab-meeting out/ # a copy that presents offline

Or use it online, with nothing to install, at glideshow.org.

Docs

• Deck format: deck.html, attribute by attribute.
• For agents: layout and recipes; every deck gets a copy as AGENTS.md. The Claude Code skill is in skills/glideshow.
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Running it online: your own glideshow.org on Cloudflare.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Before sending one, run tools/check.sh (types and lint) and uv run test/smoke.py (the editor end to end, in Chrome).

Releasing

Work lands on main (small changes directly, bigger ones through a short branch and a pull request). Every push to main that passes the checks goes to dev.glideshow.org, the nightly channel. A release is a version tag:

$ # bump `version` in pyproject.toml, commit it, then:
$ git tag v0.2.0 && git push origin main v0.2.0

Run uv run test/smoke.py first. The tag runs the quick checks, deploys glideshow.org and publishes a GitHub Release with notes and the package (0.x versions are marked pre-release). The browser tests also run nightly and on pull requests, as a heads-up. The deploys need the repo secret CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN (a Cloudflare token from the "Edit Cloudflare Workers" template) and the variable CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID.
