I built SlideHTML as a small experiment after noticing that LLMs are surprisingly good at writing HTML layouts.
Instead of building another slide editor, I tried the opposite approach: let AI generate slides directly as HTML.
SlideHTML is a small Electron app that simply watches a folder and renders each HTML file as a slide.
My workflow is basically:
1. Open a folder 2. Ask Claude Code or Gemini CLI to generate slides 3. SlideHTML renders them live 4. Hit present
No editor, no proprietary format — just HTML.
The whole thing was built in about 3 hours as an experiment.
Curious what HN thinks about HTML as a slide format in the AI era.
