# Deckloom Decks are content plus a design system, and they are almost never made once. The same twelve facts get recut as an investor overview, a sales deck, a one-pager and a technical brief, and within a month the four versions disagree with each other. So: keep the content in one JSON file, keep the design in one HTML file, and render whichever deck you need. The output is a PDF at exactly PowerPoint's 16:9 page size, and a PPTX if someone needs one. ``` content.json ──► deck.html ──► headless Chrome ──► deck.pdf ──► deck.pptx (words) (design) (layout) (share) (optional) ``` ## The one idea that matters **Content and design never live in the same file.** `content.json` holds the words. `deck.html` holds the slide types and the brand. Neither knows about the other until build time. That is what makes it possible to recut a deck for a different audience in seconds, restyle every deck at once by editing a few CSS variables, and diff a wording change in a pull request. If you find yourself writing copy inside the HTML, stop. Add a field to the slide type instead. ## Commands ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt && playwright install chromium cp templates/deck.html templates/content.example.json . mv content.example.json content.json python3 scripts/build.py # -> out/deck.pdf python3 scripts/build.py --cut investor # a subset, same content file python3 scripts/build.py --png # also one PN
