People rebuild existing content to present it as slides
Technical educators, researchers, and Markdown users want to present material they already have in notebooks, Markdown files, or posters, but often lack a focused presentation view for it. They resort to reformatting or recreating content in a separate deck, and notebook presentations can reveal upcoming code or answers. The requests point to a narrow need for presenting source material directly, not a general-purpose slide editor.
For technical educators, researchers, and Markdown users. Mentioned from Mar 2016 to Jul 2026 on Bluesky, product forums, GitHub, Hacker News and Stack Exchange.

But from a teachers perspective, it's missing the presentation mode that allows to focus on specific topics or not revealing the answer in the next line
It requires you to move your content into reveal-md's format. It doesn't work as a reader/presentation mode for any markdown files
