Can I vibecode Slides.com?
// one session, and a personal version you can actually use
Slides.com's solo core is compact: build a browser-based web presentations editor with drag, resize, connect, keyboard shortcuts, autosave, and SVG or PNG export. A competent builder can reach a useful personal version in one sitting, while the paid product mainly wins on interaction polish, collaboration.

They cancel out. This is where it comes down to how much the subscription annoys you.
Gioco editoriale: il verdetto dice se un agente può, l’indice se conviene.

Strong page because Slides.com separates a compact personal workflow from the value of long-term polish.
The prompt
One session with a coding agent and your version runs.
Build a usable personal replacement for the core loop of Slides.com.
Use exactly this stack: React + TypeScript + Vite + IndexedDB.
Primary job: Build a browser-based web presentations editor with drag, resize, connect, keyboard shortcuts, autosave, and SVG or PNG export.
Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project.
Make the default mode single-user and private.
Store user data locally unless the core job requires the declared self-hosted database.
Do not add analytics, telemetry, ads, or third-party accounts.
Put every secret and external credential in .env and provide .env.example.
Use realistic sample data that is clearly labelled and easy to delete.
Implement the smallest polished interface that completes the core loop end to end.
Include clear empty, loading, validation, success, and failure states.
Add import and export so the user is not trapped in the app.
Use accessible keyboard navigation, labels, focus states, and sensible contrast.
Validate untrusted input and never log secrets or private file contents.
Deliberately exclude these paid-product advantages: multiplayer cursors and comments; large template libraries; high-fidelity import and export.
Do not fake integrations, network effects, proprietary data, model quality, compliance, or security claims.
Where an external API is optional, keep the app useful without it and explain the degraded mode.
Write focused unit tests for the data model and the most important workflow.
Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves the core loop works.
Create a README with setup, permissions, architecture, data location, backup, and limitations.
Add scripts for install, development, test, build, and a production-style local run.
Run the tests and build before finishing, then fix errors rather than merely describing them. Prompt generated from the data on this page, not reviewed by hand yet. In English on purpose — it is the language coding agents work best in.
What you lose
- multiplayer cursors and comments
- large template libraries
- high-fidelity import and export
- presentation and enterprise controls
Why people still pay
Slides.com: The shapes are easy; customers pay for low-friction editing, reliable exports, collaboration, and a canvas that never fights them.
