Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

ShowMe is a local-first presentation editor for macOS and Windows built with Electron and TypeScript, featuring a shared filesystem-based asset library, animation timeline, CSS/GLSL effects, presenter console, and export to portable .smp, standalone HTML, PowerPoint, and PDF. It stands out for combining pro-grade presentation tooling with uncommon features like GLSL shaders, JavaScript text effects, a local MCP server for AI agents, and LAN collaboration, all without accounts or subscriptions.

Target audience: presenters, designers, and developer-adjacent power users who want local-first, hackable slide tooling
