Is it better than or much different from Marp [0]? If so, in what ways?
Looks like the Deckless editor UI is nice.

Also main difference is that it's just a web tool so it works with a UI on the browser and supposed to be simple to use for anyone.
And i prefer typing over designing, so I can just write things out in plain markdown text which makes it way faster to make decks.
