history

Project history and usage

presenterm is a Rust-based terminal slideshow application that renders presentations written in Markdown. It supports themes, terminal images and animation, code highlighting and execution, diagrams, mathematical rendering, speaker notes, hot reload, and PDF or HTML export.

Project history

presenterm's changelog begins with the 0.1.0 release in October 2023, providing Markdown slides, terminal image protocols, themes, syntax highlighting, pauses, and automatic reload.

Subsequent releases quickly added columns, PDF export, dynamic code highlighting, LaTeX and Typst rendering, configuration files, custom key bindings, Windows image support, Mermaid rendering, executable snippets, and broader export support. The documentation later moved into a dedicated mdBook-style site.

Adoption history

The project expanded from its initial Cargo-oriented release to community packaging across Homebrew, Nix, Arch Linux, Scoop, WinGet, MacPorts, Alpine, and openSUSE, as reflected in official installation documentation and the supplied package-manager facts. Its terminal-native format has also accumulated support for multiple graphics protocols and terminal families.

How it is used

Authors write one or more Markdown files, separate slides with presenterm commands or configured shorthand, and run `presenterm file.md`. Development mode reloads changed slides automatically; presentation mode, custom themes, speaker notes, executable snippets, and export commands support delivery and publishing.

Why package nerds care

presenterm turns plain Markdown into a capable terminal-native presentation format without requiring a browser or desktop slide suite. It is especially appealing for developer talks and live demonstrations because it combines hot reload, syntax highlighting, executable snippets, terminal graphics, diagrams, formulas, speaker notes, and export in one CLI workflow.

Timeline

2023-10-08: Version 0.1.0 introduced Markdown terminal presentations, images, themes, highlighting, pauses, and hot reload.
2023-11-24: Version 0.3.0 added PDF export and richer code presentation features.
2024-01-26: Version 0.5.0 added the dedicated documentation, custom key bindings, slide indexing, and broader graphics support.
2024-07-29: Version 0.8.0 added extensive snippet execution and Mermaid rendering capabilities.

Related projects

slides and mdp are other command-line Markdown presentation tools; presenterm differentiates itself with richer terminal graphics, executable and rendered code blocks, hot reload, themes, speaker notes, and PDF or HTML export.
