What it does

Create animation-rich browser-based HTML presentations from scratch, enhance existing HTML decks, or convert PowerPoint files into web presentations. Use only when the requested deliverable is HTML or a browser presentation; do not use when the user needs an editable native .pptx file.

Frontend Slides

Create zero-dependency, animation-rich HTML presentations that run entirely in the browser.

Core Principles

  1. Zero Dependencies, Single HTML files with inline CSS/JS. No npm, no build tools.
  2. Show, Don't Tell, Generate visual previews, not abstract choices. People discover what they want by seeing it.
  3. Distinctive Design, No generic "AI slop." Every presentation must feel custom-crafted.
  4. Viewport Fitting (NON-NEGOTIABLE), Every slide MUST fit exactly within 100vh. No scrolling within slides, ever. Content overflows? Split into multiple slides.

Design Aesthetics

You tend to converge toward generic, "on distribution" outputs. In frontend design, this creates what users call the "AI slop" aesthetic. Avoid this: make creative, distinctive frontends that surprise and delight.

Focus on:

  • Typography: Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Avoid generic fonts like Arial and Inter; opt instead for distinctive choices that elevate the frontend's aesthetics.
  • Color & Theme: Commit to a cohesive aesthetic. Use CSS variables for consistency. Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid, evenly-distributed palettes. Draw from IDE themes and cultural aesthetics for inspiration.
  • Motion: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions. Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML. Use Motion library for React when available. Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals (animation-delay) creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions.
  • Backgrounds: Create atmosphere and depth rather than defaulting to solid colors. Layer CSS gradients, use geometric patterns, or add contextual effects that match the overall aesthetic.
