Everything you need to deliver high-stakes presentations without brittle cloud dependencies.
glissade build inlines all images, CSS, and fonts into a single standalone HTML deck. Open it locally without internet, web servers, or cloud subscriptions.
Scan a QR code on the projector to turn your phone into a remote control. Advance slides, read speaker notes, and capture live audience feedback in real time.
`glissade init` scaffolds an AGENTS.md guide and glissade.schema.json. Ask Claude, Cursor, or Antigravity to write your entire talk automatically.
glissade check validates slide layouts, missing image paths, and embed links. Run --fix to automatically correct typos and YouTube embed URLs.
Pure Python dependencies mean pip install glissade never requires a C compiler or build toolchain on macOS, Windows, or Linux.
Ships with Paper, Georgia Tech, and Texas A&M themes out of the box. Drop a themes.json to apply custom brand swatches.
glissade start automatically watches your project. Edit deck JSON, replace images, or change themes, and all connected screens refresh live without losing position.
Pick from versatile layouts designed for code, images, media splits, grid showcases, quad-charts, and discussion points.
