storytold/deckcraft is a presentation app that clean-room reimplements Microsoft PowerPoint in Rust. The latest release confirmed in the repository is v0.7.0. However, the provided information contains nothing about what was newly added or changed in this version, so the specific changes in the release cannot be confirmed. The project description introduces it as an open-source app for presentations and slideshows.
The app opens and saves pptx files, exports to PDF and PNG·JPEG·GIF, and plays back full screen. It supports slide masters, eleven layouts, eight built-in themes, sections, and notes and comments. It covers more than 150 shapes along with connectors, curves and freeforms, and shape merge operations. Manipulation is provided as more than 200 commands with undo support, and it can be used from the CLI, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server for AI agents. It is recorded as running on macOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and in browsers. It is written in Rust, the license is Apache-2.0, and the repository has 3688 stars.
The status badge points to early development, and the README summary explains that it is moving from alpha to beta. So with the current material the feature scope and the control approach can be confirmed, but it is hard to judge maturity or the specific improvements of v0.7.0.
