Why another technical presentation editor?
September 6, 2026 · Product notes
Technical presentations combine two kinds of editing: explaining a point and arranging precise visual relationships. Markdown alone makes visual adjustments laborious. A canvas alone can obscure formula structure, source history and consistency.
Presentor connects Canvas, Text and Source to one document. Visual edits write back to Markdown; source edits rebuild the same model.
Mathematical continuity is another focus. Showing where an unchanged term goes can explain a derivation better than fading two complete equations. MathJax SVG glyphs, stable object identities and explicit pairings connect neighboring slides, while the author retains the final layout.
This is not an empty market. Slidev supports developer workflows. Slidev Studio already explores visual editing and Markdown writeback. Presentor must demonstrate an easier browser-based authoring and presenting workflow, not claim to have invented the visual Markdown canvas.
The immediate test is whether a small number of real authors can finish and present a useful deck repeatedly.
