history
Project history and usage
patat renders terminal-based presentations from Pandoc-supported markup, with Markdown-oriented authoring and YAML configuration.
Project history
Jasper Van der Jeugt created patat as a terminal presentation program built around Pandoc parsing. Successive versions expanded the original slide renderer with images, speaker notes, per-slide configuration, transitions, tab-stop control, centering, and OSC 8 links.
Adoption history
The official README lists packaged installation on Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, NixOS, openSUSE, Ubuntu, and Homebrew, alongside generic Linux and macOS binaries and installation from Hackage with Cabal.
How it is used
Users run patat against a presentation file and navigate slides in a terminal. Watch mode reloads a deck while it is edited. Configuration can be supplied globally in YAML, embedded in Pandoc metadata, or—where supported—placed in individual slide comments.
Why package nerds care
patat joins the Pandoc document model with terminal-native presentation delivery. Package enthusiasts value it as a lightweight, text-file-based alternative to graphical slide software and as an example of the Haskell ecosystem reaching mainstream operating-system repositories.
