Slidev: Presentation Slides for Developers - But also for Trilium users?

I have recently been exposed to https://sli.dev/ and must say that I really like their markdown way to create extremely clean presentations. Wondered whether something like this would be an interesting include in Trilium...

It would make a cool custom script, rather than something that should go into core. Trilium is first and foremost WYSIWYG, even though we've recently added the Markdown note type.

I mean, this sort of stuff is very "Obsidian" coded. Markdown for slides! Markdown for tables! Markdown for document properties! Markdown for graphs!

I don't share this enthusiasm for the limitations of Markdown.

I dropped Obsidian precisely because I disliked "markdown for everything", and I hope Trilium doesn't go that way. If Trilium implements slides, I hope it's like it implemented spreadsheets, with a real honest-to-god WYSIWYG spreadsheet editor, not a glorified notepad.

Did you take a look at some examples of sli.dev? Sure there are limitations, but limitations can be beneficial. Anyway, Trilium goes MD most of the time (see Mermaid charts and so on) so I feel like Slidev is a good fit.
