Turn a folder of HTML slides into a presentation: a stage on the big screen, a remote on your phone, and a live link the audience opens on theirs.
Your AI already writes one HTML file per slide. Deckhand is what presents them.
deckhand validate talk/ # check the deck, list every problem
deckhand present talk/ # stage + remote + viewer on your LAN (milestone 3)
deckhand push talk/ # publish on a Hub, get a public link (milestone 5)
Local mode (validate, present, the three screens) is MIT. The hosted
Hub at deckhand.stranix.net adds remote
viewers, permanent links and statistics; you can also
self-host it. Decisions in docs/DECISIONS.md.
brew install stranix79/tap/deckhand # macOS / Linux, builds from source (needs Go)
Or grab a binary for macOS, Linux or Windows from the releases, or build it:
git clone https://github.com/stranix79/deckhand && cd deckhand
make build # → ./deckhand
./deckhand present examples/ship-it --open
deckhand present talk/
prints three links and two QR codes. Scan REMOTE with your phone: it
shows the current and next slide, your notes, a timer, and drives the
presentation (prev/next, laser pointer by dragging on the thumbnail, black
screen, show the audience QR on the stage). Open the stage link on the
projector and press f. Share AUDIENCE with the room: everybody follows
live on their own screen, can browse alone and come back to live.
Everything runs on your machine, on your LAN, offline. No account.
deckhand login --hub https://deckhand.stranix.net --token … # token from the hub, once
deckhand push talk/ # permanent link: https://deckhand.stranix.net/d/you/talk
deckhand present talk/ --hub https://deckhand.stranix.net # people outside the room follow live
Free: one deck, ten remote viewers, links for a week. Pro: no limits. Details in docs/HUB.md, the CLI in docs/CLI.md, the wire protocol in docs/PROTOCOL.md, the threat model in docs/SECURITY.md.
A directory, or a .zip/.tar.gz of it. One HTML file per slide, natural
order, optional deck.json for title, ratio and presenter notes. Slides may
opt into fragments with a tiny postMessage protocol. Everything is in
docs/FORMAT.md; examples/ship-it is an
eight-slide deck that uses all of it.
make test # go test -race ./...
make lint # golangci-lint
make validate # build + validate the example deck
