Quick start

You can present an existing file in under a minute, or start a new deck in the editor.

Option 1: present a public file

Open the dashboard, paste the URL of a public Markdown file into Open from a link, and press Open presentation.

PowerMD is at https://powermd.atom-forge.eu. To share a deck as a single link, put the file's address after play?src= (the address must be URL-encoded):

https://powermd.atom-forge.eu/play?src=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fuser%2Frepo%2Fmain%2Fdeck.md

Option 2: open a local file

Choose Choose file on the dashboard and select a .md file. It opens in the player without uploading anything.

Option 3: write a new deck

Press Open editor (or Continue editing if you already have work in progress). The editor starts with a short sample deck. Edit it, then press the Play button in the header to present.
