Taleem is deliberately small.
Some features commonly found in presentation tools are not included. This is not because they are hard to build. It is because they weaken the system.
Taleem does not include a drag-and-drop slide editor.
Visual editors encourage endless adjustment: moving text, tweaking spacing, fixing alignment.
Over time, this shifts attention away from explanation and toward layout maintenance.
Taleem avoids this by design.
You cannot resize text boxes, realign elements, or customize spacing per slide.
These controls introduce continuous flexibility, which has no natural stopping point.
Taleem replaces this with discrete slide templates that remain stable over time.
Taleem does not focus on visual effects, transitions, or decorative motion.
Motion is used only when it serves understanding, such as progressive reveal or timed playback.
Decoration without purpose is avoided.
Taleem does not provide a timeline editor for manually placing slides along a time axis.
Time is treated as a control signal, not as part of the content itself.
This keeps lessons reusable across different playback modes.
Taleem avoids features that require:
If a feature cannot be explained simply, it does not belong in the system.
Taleem gives up some short-term flexibility in exchange for long-term clarity.
The system stays predictable. Content stays reusable. Complexity stays visible.
These omissions are not temporary.
They are part of the design.
