PPTist is a web-based presentation application designed to replicate the core features of Microsoft PowerPoint, targeting developers who need to build online slideshow functionalities. It allows users to create, edit, and present slides directly in a browser, supporting a wide range of elements like text, images, charts, and multimedia.

How It Works

Built with Vue 3.x and TypeScript, PPTist prioritizes a lean architecture by minimizing reliance on third-party UI component libraries. This design choice facilitates easier styling customization and more convenient feature extension. The application aims for a desktop-like user experience through features such as context menus, extensive keyboard shortcuts, and numerous editing detail optimizations.
