Overview
Slate reimagines business document creation by combining the simplicity of markdown with the structure professionals need. Create proposals, statements of work, requirements documents, resumes, or define your own document types. Each document type can have a custom template and elements accessible by typing / while editing to open the element menu. Everything stays in your browser using IndexedDB—your data never leaves your device.
