Fork
Fork any public deck. Edit the markdown.
Public decks on SlideChum have a Fork button. One click clones the markdown verbatim, attribution preserved, lineage tracked. The first slide-tool that's git-shaped.
What it does
Markdown verbatim.
Forking copies the source byte-for-byte. No platform-specific binary, no lossy export. You diff two forks like you diff two files.
Lineage tracked.
Every fork knows its parent. Public deck pages render the lineage breadcrumb so credit flows the right way.
Free to fork.
Forking spends zero tokens. The cost gates AI, not editing.
A gallery for what works.
The top-forked decks of the last 7 days surface on /gallery. Fork count is an honest signal — nobody forks a deck twice for the badge.
FAQ
- Why would I make my deck public?
- Two reasons. One: every public deck is a search-indexable canonical page that points back at you (/u/[handle]/[slug]). Two: forks are how good talk structures spread. The internet has more PDFs than anyone needs and zero forkable conference talks.
- Does forking cost tokens?
- No. Forking is a markdown copy plus a row in the forks table. Editing afterwards spends tokens only when you call AI.
- Can I unpublish?
- Yes — one click. Existing forks keep their copy of the markdown; you just stop being the source.
- Are private decks ever forkable?
- No. Forking requires visibility = 'public' and publishedAt is not null.
