Slides RS is a static site generator specialized in presentations — a "static slide generator", so to speak.

It allows you to create so-called decks and manage them with Git version control — something that, as we all know, isn't really possible with PowerPoint.
This makes Slides RS well-suited for teams that want to collaborate on high-quality presentations over the long term — such as training institutes.

The software is written in Rust and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.
The clean domain model and extensible architecture are also [documented](https://github.com/MichaelBrauner/slides-rs/tree/main/documentation/architecture) — in the [arc42](https://arc42.org/) format.

There is also a comprehensive test suite that safeguards existing functionality and prevents regressions.

Slides RS is extensively documented. I find the [comparison with PowerPoint](https://github.com/MichaelBrauner/slides-rs/blob/main/documentation/comparison.md) particularly interesting.

With Slides RS, a presentation is no longer a binary blob that you send around as `final_v3_really_final.pptx`, but rather a repository with diffs and version history.

In the future, this could lead to much more.
My girlfriend Helga and I have already been dreaming up a frontend layer during one of our walks in the woods.
I could implement this using Tauri. That sounds like a lot of fun!
