Non-Goals

This document lists things Taleem explicitly does not aim to achieve.

These are not postponed features. They are decisions.

Infinite Flexibility

Taleem does not aim to support every possible slide layout or visual arrangement.

Flexibility is achieved through discrete templates, not continuous controls.

Visual Customization per Slide

Taleem does not aim to provide per-slide customization of fonts, spacing, or alignment.

Consistency is valued over customization.

One-Tool-for-Everything

Taleem does not try to replace whiteboards, notebooks, or design tools.

It focuses on a specific problem and leaves other problems to other tools.

Smart or Adaptive Layouts

Taleem does not dynamically adjust layouts based on content length or heuristics.

Slide templates are explicit and predictable.

Hidden Magic

Taleem avoids behavior that is difficult to explain or reason about.

If a feature cannot be described clearly, it is not a goal.

Why Non-Goals Matter

Non-goals reduce ambiguity.

They make it easier to say no, and easier to keep the system coherent.
