About:
Patat is a terminal-based presentation tool that renders slides directly in the command line using Pandoc. It supports Markdown input and offers features like speaker notes, image display, and syntax highlighting. This makes it a lightweight, distraction-free alternative to GUI-based presentation software for technical environments.
Key Features:
  • Markdown-based slides via Pandoc
  • Terminal-native rendering (ANSI/Unicode)
  • Speaker notes and incremental reveals
  • Live reload mode for editing
  • Theme customization
Use Cases:
  • Technical demos in terminal-only environments
  • Live coding sessions and workshops
  • Quick documentation slideshows
Alternatives:
  • slides – Modern terminal presentation tool with more interactive features but larger footprint
  • reveal.js – Browser-based HTML presentations requiring graphical environment
