Sharing Slidev decks with linkdown

Five steps from your source folder to a shareable link.

Your share URL survives edits

Fix a typo, rebuild, run linkdown update. The same URL keeps working — no broken embeds, no fresh links to paste.

Install the linkdown CLI:

curl -fsSL https://lnkdwn.com/install.sh | bash

Need to inspect it first? The script is at /install.sh. Manual install options are in the CLI reference.

linkdown login opens your browser to confirm the device.

linkdown login

From the root of your Slidev project, run the built-in static export. Output lands in dist/:

npx slidev build

Make sure slidev is in your package.json devDependencies — the CLI uses that to auto-detect the framework.

The CLI auto-detects Slidev from slidev in your package.json. The default build directory is ./dist:

linkdown create ./dist --name my-slidev-deck

Want to skip auto-detection? Pass --framework slidev explicitly.

Your deck is live at the URL printed in the terminal. The link survives edits — see the call-out above.

linkdown share my-slidev-deck

Re-print the link any time with linkdown share <name>. Add --expiry 30d or --password secret to scope the link.

Run linkdown update after edits. The share URL is preserved.

linkdown update ./dist --name my-slidev-deck

Same five steps work for the other supported slide frameworks.
