Turn old slide decks into an API that builds new ones

Hey HN, I’m a solo builder working on BlinkSlides. It takes your team’s old slide decks and turns them into reusable templates you can call with an API. The goal is to stop rebuilding the same sales and investor decks from scratch.

What it does

Extracts structure from a source deck and maps your content into it

Fills text, images, charts, and logos into the right placeholders

Outputs a fresh PowerPoint download

Works from an API or no-code tools

Quick example You POST a JSON outline with sections, bullets, and a few images. BlinkSlides matches it to a template and creates a new deck.

Why I built it I kept cloning old decks, changing titles, fixing layouts, and hunting for images. It was slow and error-prone. This lets you keep your brand look while moving fast.

Good fits

Sales one-pagers and pitch variations

Investor updates and monthly recaps

Customer onboarding and QBRs

Internal playbooks and SOPs

What I’m looking for

Rough edges you hit on first use

Must-have integrations

Security or permissions gaps I should tighten

Which deck types you’d automate first

If you want to try it, I can spin up a template from a sample deck and send back an API endpoint to hit with your content. Happy to share a short walkthrough and hear blunt feedback.

Thanks for reading.
