Next Steps
You've covered the essentials — you can structure a deck, fill it with blocks, present it, and move around with keyboard shortcuts. Here's where to go from here, depending on what you want to do next.
Go deeper on the language
The Syntax Guide is the complete reference. A few highlights worth visiting early:
- Slides — section vs. content slides, IDs, and per-slide settings.
- Layouts — the eleven built-in layouts, from two-column to grid to code-window.
- Themes — restyle your whole deck, or build your own theme in a
.ttfile. - Footer — add page numbers, your name, or a logo to every slide.
Make it look like yours
Out of the box, your deck already looks clean. When you want it on-brand:
- Set a few colors in the frontmatter (
accent,background,headingColor). - Or pick a built-in theme like
scientificorminimal. - Or write a reusable
.tttheme file and share it across all your talks.
Present like a pro
Tachyonn has a full presentation toolkit beyond the slides themselves:
- Presenter mode (
Cmd/Ctrl+P) shows your notes, the next slide, and a timer. - The whiteboard and drawing tools let you annotate live.
- Network sharing puts your slides on the audience's devices via a QR code.
See the keyboard shortcuts for everything at a glance.
Share the result
When the talk is done, export to PDF with a single command. Animated slides expand into one page per reveal, so the PDF tells the same story your live deck did.
Found a rough edge?
Tachyonn is actively developed. If something's missing or confusing, the project repository is the place to ask questions, report issues, and see what's coming next.
