Hi HN,

I built SlideHTML as a small experiment after noticing that LLMs are surprisingly good at writing HTML layouts.

Instead of building another slide editor, I tried the opposite approach: let AI generate slides directly as HTML.

SlideHTML is a small Electron app that simply watches a folder and renders each HTML file as a slide.

My workflow is basically:

1. Open a folder 2. Ask Claude Code or Gemini CLI to generate slides 3. SlideHTML renders them live 4. Hit present

No editor, no proprietary format — just HTML.

The whole thing was built in about 3 hours as an experiment.

Curious what HN thinks about HTML as a slide format in the AI era.
