    1. Installing Slidev, and the 554 MB Download That Waits Until Your First Export

    Slidev installed in 59 seconds and redraws a slide in a median of 175 ms. Then the first PDF export asked for 554 MB of Chromium and five and a half more minutes.

    2. We Turned Our Ubuntu Segfault Story Into a Slidev Talk, and the PDF Greyed Out the Fix

    We built a 9 slide talk from a real article: line by line code highlights, Mermaid, a photo and speaker notes, exported to 550 KB in 6.21 seconds. Three of our four deliberate mistakes still exited 0.

    3. Shipping a Slidev Deck, and the Default Build That Publishes Your Speaker Notes

    We built our Slidev talk into a 6.7 MB site in 1.95 seconds, then found the default build lets anyone read the speaker notes at /presenter/. We also exported without the 554 MB Chromium download.
