What's new

Engine releases are published to npm as @kadal/deck and tagged on GitHub; the hosted service at deck.kadal.cc updates with them.

0.1.0 9 October 2026 · launch

The first public release: the engine opens, and the hosted service starts taking decks.

The engine, open source

  • @kadal/deck under the AGPL-3.0 (or a commercial licence): MDX compiler and Vite plugin, the React runtime, components, layouts, three themes and thirty backgrounds.
  • The presenter view, the audience page, the notes page and the stats page.
  • Framework islands through one renderer contract, with packages for Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact, Qwik, Angular, Fresh, WebAssembly (Rust) and Python.
  • Export to PDF, PNG and PPTX, with posters for embedded pages.
  • @kadal/create-deck to start a deck, and the kadal-deck CLI: dev, build, export, login, logout, whoami, publish.

The hosted service

  • Sign in with Google or GitHub; personal and team workspaces.
  • Publishing to deck.kadal.cc/@you/your-deck/, with content-addressed uploads and version history.
  • A live room per published deck: follow and roam, polls, word clouds, quizzes, questions, reactions and drawing.
  • Public, unlisted and passcode decks; analytics; API tokens for publishing from CI.
  • Plans: Free, Starter, Pro and Team, billed monthly or annually through Paddle.
