Developer turns 55k-star ppt-master into a desktop app

On November 3, 2026, a developer published a write-up describing how they turned ppt-master, an open source AI presentation generator with 55k stars on GitHub, into a desktop application. The post walks through the redesign from architecture decisions to the problems the developer ran into along the way. The project lives at github.com/hugohe3/ppt-master and is released under the MIT license. In terms of usage, the tool takes a PDF, a Word document, or a web link as input and generates a presentation deck from it. At the end of the post, the developer shares a download address alongside a link to the open source repository, and says everything is free, though the material available here does not state whether the desktop version has actually been released, on which platforms, or under what version number. It also does not say when the 55k star count was last measured, so those points cannot be verified from the available reporting. As it stands, the story amounts to one developer posting a detailed account of the conversion, and there has been no further development reported since.
