Kadal Deck — the tour
A deck that shows every feature, built with Kadal Deck: clicks, code, maths, diagrams, layouts, the Pro library, the presenter view, the live room with its polls and quizzes, and export.
Showcase
What Kadal Deck can do
10 flagship decks, each in a register of its own: a cinematic launch, a kinetic-type keynote, a simulation the room tunes from their phones, a brutalist technical talk, two comic books, an anime episode and a founder's letter. Every one is MDX published with one command. Take the tour first, then open any deck or join its room.

SAY LESS
A kinetic-typography manifesto in one-word slides, from the fictional type studio Hollow & Hue. Black, paper and one signal colour per beat; every slide a cut.
-
Night Census — a hundred years of lit windows
An editorial data story. Since 1926 the fictional city of Varrow has counted every lit window at eleven at night, once a decade. This issue reads the hundred-year ledger. Every place, person and number is invented for illustration.
-
Three Rules Make a Flock
An explorable science talk. Three local rules — keep apart, line up, stay close — make a flock of starlings with nobody in charge, and the room sets the rules from their phones and watches the flock re-form live.
-
The 40 ms Budget
Where every millisecond of one query goes, stop by stop, in Quarry, a fictional query engine. A brutalist systems talk on a visible Swiss grid. Every number is illustrative.
-
Reaction Time
The retro of one launch week at Squiggle & Sprout, a fictional four-person studio, told almost entirely in reactions. Kadal's own cast (Kip, Bo and Vee) carries the story in stickers, loops and meme templates; KLIPY GIFs and stickers bring the real world. Comic-book pacing, keynote cuts.
-
Same Joke, New Caption
An editorial talk staged as a small exhibition, given by a fictional design writer at a fictional conference. Meme formats work like a design system: a template is a layout with slots, a caption is content, a variation is a remix. Every person, conference, study and number in it is invented for illustration.
-
Scope Is the Final Boss
How Moonbun Games, a fictional three-person studio, shipped its first game in thirty days, told as one anime episode. A cold open, the opening title card, eyecatches, a training arc, an insert song, a climax and the next-episode preview. The cast (Kai, Juno and Tess) is original and drawn in code; it is the Kadal library's anime pack.
-
Made Slowly — the Mallow & Moss story
A brand talk in six chapters from Mallow & Moss, a fictional skincare studio, told by its fictional founder — the why, the nurse she listened to, a balm made slowly, the numbers that proved it, the community and the next chapter. Every name, figure and product in it is invented.
-
The Outage
A postmortem told as a vintage four-colour comic book. One Thursday night the checkout of Quillfern Market, a fictional online grocer, failed for forty-seven minutes; the incident commander walks the room through it issue-style, from the 3 a.m. pager to the villain unmasked and the fixes. Original characters, Kadal's new comic pack, page-turn transitions.
