FORMATS

Slide-deck lectures from 47 designed templates.

The PowerPoint family renders slide-style lectures from 47 templates — comparison grids, spectrum steps, gradient mosaics, custom diagrams — with deck themes for colour and type. A validator pass repairs template props before anything renders, so a deck never ships a broken slide.
