Rhetorical Writer one file · many views

A writing system where every slide has a job

One product. Four ways to tell it. Pick a shape.

Each deck above is a plain markdown file, rendered live by the system it describes. Same story — four rhetorical arcs.

What is this

Slides that know their job. Files you keep.

Rhetorical Writer replaces the topic outline with a deck of opinionated slides — each one declares the rhetorical job it does to a reader: hook, define, compare, prove, ask. Twenty shapes, five beats, one plain markdown file on your disk.

The same file is meant to be read more than one way: as the deck you're watching above, as a flowing document where the notes become prose, and as pages on a site like this one. It ships file-first — local, no accounts, no database — starting with a free release on GitHub.

Be there when it ships.

Low-volume email list. The first send is the release announcement.
