The ambition
Be to the office what Blender is to video.
Blender didn't win by copying the incumbents' menus. It was open, scriptable, and it owned your file end to end, so the serious work flowed through it. We want Origami to be that for the documents that run an office: not a thinner PowerPoint, a different substrate.
Where it's going
One substrate, three documents.
We start where HTML already wins and earn the right to the next thing. Decks today; the long-form document next; living tables after that.
Shipped
PowerPoint
Decks, today. The core is built: blocks, themes, a live Gantt and tracker, present mode and print.
Next
Word
Long-form reports and briefs: heading hierarchy, contents, footnotes, clean print page-flow.
Later, honestly
Excel
Tables you can sort, filter and sum: a living snapshot, not a formula engine. The calculator part stays Excel's.
Origami is strongest where documents are read more than they're recalculated. We're not pretending a deck is a spreadsheet. The wedge is the single-file, opens-anywhere, AI-native artifact.
Why this order
Earn the next document, don't assume it.
The deck is the sharpest wedge: it's read, presented and shared far more than it's edited, and almost never recalculated — so a single, self-contained, opens-anywhere file is a clean upgrade with little to give up.
The report is the natural next step — same substrate, longer form, real page-flow and footnotes. The spreadsheet is the honest "later": we'll do the living, readable snapshot, and leave the calculation engine to the tool built for it.
None of this needs a new app, a plugin or an account. Every step ships as the same .origami.html file you already trust — and the decks you have heal up to each new renderer the next time you save them.
Roadmaps move. This is the direction and the order of bets, not a dated promise — and we'd rather under-claim than invent a timeline.
