Introduction

The Problem

Creating presentations with Slidev is great—until you have several of them.

Each presentation typically lives in its own folder with its own package.json, its own dependency versions, and its own setup. Over time, this leads to:

• Version drift: Presentation A runs Slidev 51, Presentation B runs 52, and Presentation C has an outdated theme that breaks with the latest Slidev
• Repetitive setup: Every new presentation requires copying configuration files, installing dependencies, and remembering which plugins you used last time
• Scattered management: Want to export three presentations to PDF before a conference? Navigate to each folder, run the command, wait, repeat
• Dependency chaos: Each node_modules folder duplicates the same packages, eating disk space and making updates tedious

If you've ever spent more time managing your presentations than creating them, Supaslidev is for you.

The Solution

Supaslidev organizes all your presentations in a pnpm monorepo with centralized dependency management and provides an interactive dashboard to manage them.

How It Works

1. One workspace, many presentations: All your presentations live under presentations/ in a single repository
2. Shared dependencies: A pnpm catalog defines dependency versions once—every presentation uses the same Slidev version automatically
3. Unified commands: Create, run, export, and deploy any presentation from the workspace root using the dashboard CLI

Two CLI Tools

Supaslidev consists of two packages that work together:

create-supaslidev

Scaffolds new workspaces with everything configured:

pnpm create supaslidev

This sets up:

• The workspace directory structure
• pnpm-workspace.yaml with catalog dependencies
• Your first presentation
• Git initialization (optional)

@supaslidev/dashboard

An interactive dashboard and CLI for day-to-day presentation management:

pnpm dev      # Open the dashboard
pnpm new      # Create a presentation
pnpm present  # Start dev server
pnpm export   # Export to PDF
pnpm deploy   # Build for deployment

What You Get

• Consistent versions: Update Slidev once in the catalog, all presentations update together
• Visual management: Browse and manage presentations from an interactive dashboard
• One-command operations: Export to PDF, build for deployment, or start dev servers without navigating directories
• Migration system: Upgrade your workspace when new Supaslidev versions are released
• Disk efficiency: pnpm's content-addressable storage means shared packages are stored only once
