How to install DeckDeckGo as a PWA

Why we recommend DeckDeckGo
DeckDeckGo deserves its place in PWA history: it was one of the most complete demonstrations that a real creative tool — a full presentation editor with templates, remote control from your phone, and live audience polls — could ship as an installable Progressive Web App. If you're searching for it today, here's the honest status: the project is archived on GitHub (the deckgo/deckdeckgo repository, 1,600+ stars, stopped active development), and the hosted editor at app.deckdeckgo.com no longer responds. The marketing site still stands, which is why search results keep pointing here. What survives is the code: everything — editor, presentation kit, remote control — is open source under permissive licenses, so a motivated team can still self-host or salvage its Web Components for their own slide tooling. As a ready-to-use product, though, it's gone.
Best use cases
Today DeckDeckGo is useful in exactly two cases: developers who want to study or reuse a well-architected StencilJS/Web-Components codebase for browser-based presentations, and teams willing to self-host an open-source deck editor and maintain it themselves. If you just want to make slides in the browser right now, use a maintained tool instead: Google Slides or Canva for general use, reveal.js or Slidev if you like the code-your-slides approach that made DeckDeckGo special.
Honest limitations
Not usable as a hosted product anymore — the online editor is down and accounts, cloud decks and publishing are gone with it. Self-hosting means adopting an archived codebase: no security patches, no bug fixes, dependencies aging. Decks published on the old deckdeckgo.com infrastructure are no longer reachable, and there is no export path left for them.
