- apps/slidecraft-web: SlideApp in the browser via eframe's web runner (trunk; WebGPU with WebGL2 fallback). Opens the sample deck (?blank for empty, ?show to present, ?webgl to force WebGL2). Open/Insert use the browser file picker through Services::open_async + inbox; Save/Export download; dropped files are read asynchronously. - ui-egui: native-only synchronous drop handling (wasm uses the inbox), real clock on wasm (js_sys::Date::now), About shows build commit/date when SLIDECRAFT_BUILD_SHA/DATE are set. - .github/workflows/release.yml (push to `release` / workflow_dispatch): macOS universal signed+notarized dmg, Windows x64/x86 signed msi + portable zip, Linux AppImage/deb/rpm/tar.gz (x86_64, aarch64), Flatpak bundle, FreeBSD tar.gz (vmactions), web zip; draft GitHub Release "SlideCraft v<version>" from [workspace.package] version. Same secret names as DesignCraft. - freebsd.yml and packaging-lint.yml CI, ported from DesignCraft. - packaging/: macOS (Info.plist, entitlements, cert import), Windows (WiX with new UpgradeCode, .slidecraft ProgId, Open-with for pptx), Linux (.desktop, AppStream, MIME, nfpm, Flatpak), FreeBSD and web scripts; shared setup in packaging/common.sh. - apps/slidecraft/build.rs embeds icon + VERSIONINFO on Windows; slidecraft.icns/.ico generated from the committed PNGs by packaging/icons.sh.

# SlideCraft roadmap
|
||
|
||
SlideCraft aims at full PowerPoint parity — and to be better: faster, open (a documented zip+JSON
|
||
format plus PPTX), scriptable by agents (CLI, JSON control channel, MCP), and available everywhere
|
||
(macOS, Windows, Linux, BSD and the web).
|
||
|
||
## Status (2026-10-07)
|
||
|
||
**Working today**
|
||
- Document model: presentations, slides, masters and 11 standard layouts with placeholder inheritance
|
||
(slide → layout → master → theme), sections, notes, comments, custom shows, header/footer fields,
|
||
embedded media, unlimited undo built on shared slide snapshots.
|
||
- Themes: 8 original themes with colour and font schemes, custom colours/fonts, backgrounds,
|
||
slide size presets.
|
||
- Shapes: ~150 preset geometries with adjustment handles, text boxes, pictures (with crop and
|
||
adjustments), tables with styles, charts (column, bar, line, area, pie, doughnut, scatter and more),
|
||
basic SmartArt, groups, connectors, ink, action buttons, WordArt.
|
||
- Text: in-place editing with caret, selection, keyboard and mouse; every Home-tab font and paragraph
|
||
control; bullets and numbering; levels; autofit; columns; vertical text; fields; hyperlinks.
|
||
- Editing: select, marquee, move, resize, rotate, adjust; smart guides; nudge; duplicate; z-order;
|
||
group/ungroup; align/distribute; Format Painter; Selection pane; clipboard incl. images.
|
||
- Transitions (fade, push, wipe, split, cover, uncover, zoom, morph…) and animations (entrance,
|
||
emphasis, exit, motion paths, triggers, by-paragraph builds) on a shared timeline engine.
|
||
- Slide show: full screen, keyboard/mouse navigation, blank screens, go-to-slide, pen, presenter
|
||
window, rehearse timings, custom shows, Set Up Show; Reading View.
|
||
- Views: Normal (thumbnails with sections, slide, notes), Outline, Slide Sorter, Notes Page,
|
||
Slide Master; zoom; grayscale.
|
||
- Review: comments, accessibility checker, spelling.
|
||
- PDF export: slides, notes pages and handouts (1–9 per page) with a selectable real-text layer, hyperlinks and slide bookmarks (`file.export {format: "pdf", layout}`, File › Export…).
|
||
- UI: PowerPoint-style ribbon with contextual tabs, ~240 original icons, status bar, panes, command
|
||
palette, light/dark.
|
||
- Automation: ~200 commands, every one reachable from `slidecraft-cli`, the app's JSON control
|
||
channel and the MCP server (headless or connected to the running app).
|
||
- Web: `apps/slidecraft-web` runs the same UI in the browser (trunk; WebGPU with WebGL2 fallback),
|
||
opening the sample deck; Open/Insert use the browser file picker, Save/Export download.
|
||
- Release CI: pushes to `release` build a draft GitHub Release (macOS universal dmg, Windows
|
||
x64/x86 msi + zip, Linux AppImage/deb/rpm/tar.gz + Flatpak, FreeBSD tar.gz, web zip); signing
|
||
secrets live in the `release` environment. Version: `cargo xtask version`.
|
||
|
||
**In progress:** PPTX import/export · first signed release run.
|
||
|
||
**Next (in order):** vector PDF artwork · audio/video playback · Format Shape pane depth · connectors with
|
||
glue, freeform and edit points · merge shapes · Animation Pane polish · native macOS menu bar ·
|
||
print · Notes/Handout masters · equations · SVG pictures.
|
||
|
||
Milestone details live in `plan/execution-plan.md` (M0–M14, local planning notes).
|
||
|
||
## How far from full parity (estimate, 2026-10-07)
|
||
|
||
**Breadth: ~74% weighted** (P0 core 88%, P1 67%, P2 33%) over the 187 features of the PowerPoint
|
||
catalogue, scored row by row in [docs/parity.md](docs/parity.md) (`cargo xtask parity` recomputes
|
||
it). Many features scored done still lack some of PowerPoint's options, dialogs or pixel fidelity, so
|
||
**overall parity including depth is about 55%**.
|
||
|
||
**Remaining work: about 230 wall-clock hours of a single Claude Opus 5.5 agent** (±30%), or roughly
|
||
80–110 hours with four agents in parallel on separate crates:
|
||
|
||
| Work | Estimate |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Open P0 (16 partial, 1 missing: PPTX fidelity, vector PDF, media playback, Format Shape pane, presenter view…) | 30 h |
|
||
| Open P1 (23 partial, 10 missing: connectors/glue, freeform, merge shapes, print, multi-monitor, SVG…) | 45 h |
|
||
| Open P2 (11 partial, 28 missing: equations, video export, 3-D, remove background, thesaurus…) | 40 h |
|
||
| Depth and pixel fidelity of every ribbon group, dialog and pane against PowerPoint | 75 h |
|
||
| Performance (incremental rendering, GPU raster) and PPTX corpus hardening | 30 h |
|
||
| Platform verification and release hardening (signing, Flatpak, BSD, web) | 10 h |
|
||
|
||
Basis: the M0 arc (model, renderer, text engine, engine with ~200 commands, ribbon UI, show engine,
|
||
CLI and MCP) took roughly 25 wall-clock agent hours; open catalogue rows average 1–2 hours each.
|
||
|
||
## Agents: CLI and MCP
|
||
|
||
Every command is reachable from `slidecraft-cli` (`run`, `describe`, `commands`, `app` for the running
|
||
window, `render`, `convert`), from MCP (`slidecraft-cli mcp`, optionally `--connect PORT`), and from the
|
||
app's JSON control channel (`slidecraft --control PORT`).
