Show HN: Sherp, a CLI for building presentations from Markdown/MDX

https://github.com/skeptrunedev/sherp
1•skeptrune•2mo ago
I announced Sherp on X with a video covering my reasons for creating it here - https://x.com/skeptrune/status/1994678515825086556?s=20.

If you just want to read the slides, those are available too at https://sherp.skeptrune.com/.

I care about slide decks because they are an effective way to communicate ideas and often required for many public speaking formats like conferences or fundraising.

Many presentations induce death by PowerPoint[1] and I think writing them in plain markdown is an easy way to curtail that effect. I struggled with that a lot while building presentation decks when I first started raising capital with my startup and have been passionate about the problem ever since.

It is usually good to have a role model when pursuing excellence at something and mine for slide decks is a YouTube creator named Hambini[2]. He is a master of the format and I designed Sherp to be capable of making presentations that he would want to use.

You may be wondering why I didn't just use Slidev or Marp. If so, I will say to you that they are great tools, but I find Slidev to be far too complex because it requires managing your own package.json and Marp to be bloated with regards to its CLI and UX. Marp's directives for formatting and CSS selectors are particularly weird and hard to use.

Sherp is simple! One MDX file, one CSS file, one JS file, and you're off to the races. There are only 5 commands and I will not be adding more. I also think the default themes are nice and cover a good range of use-cases.
