Toboggan

Toboggan is a modern, multi-platform presentation system built in Rust. Write your slides in Markdown or TOML, serve them via a WebSocket-enabled server, and present from any client — web browser, terminal, desktop app, or mobile device.

Inspiration

The name Toboggan comes from the French word for slides (as in a slide deck). It's a project originally started by Igor Labori (@ilaborie), which I took over to advance and evolve into the multi-platform system it is today.

Inspired by the Italian animated series Huntik, Toboggan lets you become a Seeker of knowledge. Your presentations are your Titans — powerful, dynamic, and under your control.

Features

• Simple content creation — Write presentations in Markdown or TOML
• Real-time synchronization — Multi-client sync via WebSocket
• Multi-platform clients — Web, terminal, desktop, iOS, embedded
• Zero external dependencies — Just a single binary per component
