Vince Sitzmann released a new version of DeckWerk, an open-source, opinionated slide editor for Linux/macOS/Windows aimed at media-rich research talks.
- Video is a first-class object: drop clips onto slides, crop, trim, morph between slides, with automatic transcoding
- Native agent integration: agents author slides in HTML/CSS, reuse deck assets and typography, and make surgical edits via a revision-bound API while humans edit alongside
- LAN/tailnet collaboration via a link, no accounts; headless mode works as a local Google Slides replacement
- New release adds better UI, simplified agent support, code blocks, more shapes/animations, improved Keynote import
