Riprap pitch deck
Marp-rendered slides for the AMD x lablab.ai hackathon submission video (May 4 to 10, 2026). Eight slides, around 30 s of voiceover each, sized to leave three or more minutes for the live demo inside the five-minute video cap.
Files
deck.md. Slide source (Marp markdown).riprap.css. Marp theme that ports the SvelteKit UI's design tokens 1:1: IBM Plex (Sans / Mono / Serif), Civic Hydrology paper register (#F4F6F9), Stone palette, the dam mark.logo.svg,logo-paper.svg. Cleaned dam mark variants used by the title and CTA slides. The original Noun Project file (with embedded attribution text) lives atassets/in the repo root.Makefile. One-command builds.
Render
Marp CLI is the simplest path. Install once:
npm install -g @marp-team/marp-cli
Build any of the three artefacts:
make pdf # writes deck.pdf (best for sharing)
make html # writes deck.html (best for live presenting in browser)
make pptx # writes deck.pptx (best for editing in Keynote / PowerPoint)
make all # all three
make clean
Or directly:
marp deck.md --theme riprap.css --pdf --output deck.pdf
marp deck.md --theme riprap.css --html --output deck.html
marp deck.md --theme riprap.css --pptx --output deck.pptx
Notes
- The theme
@imports IBM Plex from Google Fonts, so Marp needs network access on first build. Cache it by building once on a connected machine. - The deck targets a 1280×720 16:9 frame.
- Slide 7 is the demo handoff. Leave the slide visible while you cut to the live screen capture, then return to slide 8 for the closing CTA.
