slidevjs/slidev

Slidev is a markdown-based presentation framework that compiles Markdown files into interactive slides. It provides a modular architecture with separate packages for parsing, client-side rendering, and theme creation, alongside a VS Code extension for development. The system supports interactive features like animations, code execution, and AI integration, all managed through a standardized plugin and setup system.

The project underwent a major architectural shift by extracting the client-side code into a standalone, importable package, while simultaneously modularizing the parser, types, and Node.js API. This period also introduced new interactive components, state synchronization, and scaffolding tools to enhance developer experience and extensibility.

The project underwent a significant architectural overhaul, refactoring the client-side logic into modular Vue composables and restructuring the Node.js command and virtual module systems for better maintainability. Concurrently, the VS Code extension was completely rewritten using a reactive architecture, introducing a dedicated language server, syntax highlighting, and AI integration via the Model Context Protocol.

This period focused on enhancing Slidev's markdown processing capabilities by introducing new syntax plugins for math, code, and slide-specific features, while also refactoring the codeblock handling into a modular transformer pipeline. Simultaneously, the client package was optimized by pre-scanning UnoCSS tokens to improve CSS processing performance, and public API stability was reinforced through TypeScript snapshot testing.
