mewc··on Show HN: NoPoint – Pitch decks vibe coded instead of clicked (open source)
Hey hn, doesn't it feel so backwards to click and type into text boxes to make a deck?

What if you could purely VibeCode your deck with the AI subscriptions you already have? within your existing repo with all the context to brainstorm, and styles within your app?

Try out NoPoint.

A free opensource slide vibecoding starterpack. Give all power to you and your decks.

AI slide tools are a bit janky locking you in, or ppt/gslides wrappers are just faster horses, right?

So what if we had a really good pitchdeck structure to vibecode in, and make new decks on a whim?

Harness all the libraries, skills and your existing AI context map to truly unlock how good your decks can be

Programmatic slides, and full analytics support including session replays (byo favourite tool)

And best of all: hook in any data API so on re-visiting the slide you'll can get the latest versions of those numbers without ever copying them from somewhere else ever again.

Try NoPoint now with a single prompt, and pump in your existing deck and let it spin up basically the same thing but within NoPoint in less than a ~minute per slide or so.

mewc··on GitHub CEO: manual coding remains key despite AI boom
More complaining & pessimism means better signal for teams building the AI coding tools! Keep it up! The ceiling for AI is not even close to being met. We have to be practical with whats reasonable, but getting 90% complete in a few prompts is magic.
