Can't tell you how many times we heard it would be cool to get @nn1.dev updates on Instagram! We're not cool enough for this platform, but huge thanks to Basia who's gonna help us with social media. So finally you can follow us on Instagram 🤷‍♂️

Remove the guesswork from your UI. Assuming that everyone is as tech-savvy as you are is not the way to go. Nothing beats descriptive text labels.

"Bad at CSS" by Keith Cirkel CSS is a beautiful nightmare of cascading chaos. To be truly bad at it requires mastery of arcane syntax. Together we’ll dive into the depths of the cascade to explore the "wrong" ways to write CSS - the hacks, the horrors, and the head-scratchers - and uncover the logic (or lack thereof) behind the language’s most unhinged features. You’ll leave this talk worse at CSS… and somehow better for it. "Start-Up to Exit: The Journey for Tech Companies" by Samantha Wildman and Ian Zant-Boer From idea to investment to exit, every stage of a tech company’s journey brings new financial and strategic challenges. In this session, Samantha Wildman and Ian Zant-Boer share insights from their work advising high-growth technology businesses on how to build a finance foundation that attracts investors, supports innovation, and maximises long-term value. Samantha will explore the key financial levers that drive growth, how to prepare for fundraising rounds and exits. Ian Zant-Boer will offer a legal and investor lens on scaling, sharing his experience as a venture capital founder and adviser to scale-ups on how to structure for investment and avoid common legal pitfalls during growth and exit.

We would love to thank @storyblok.com for the long-term financial support of our meetup. Their contributions were sufficient to cover the costs for food and snacks at our events. We are sad that this collaboration needs to end. Great product built by a great company, and we wish them all the best.

Planning to get into public speaking. Our meetups are the perfect opportunity to give a talk in front of a relatively big audience. Yes, we always do look for new speakers and it is hard to find them! @dylanbeatt.ie recently published a plan for geeks like you.

Not just barbers and kebab shops – we’ve got great shoes, and beer too. Northampton also has an incredible tech scene. That’s why Darren and I came up with the idea for NN1 Dev Club a year and a half ago.

Today, we received a Digital Northants Champion award, and we’re absolutely chuffed. Thanks 🙏

Hey Northampton geeks. Do you need to sell a laptop? Maybe you're looking for new 3D printer? Perfect. We just created a new buy/sell/giveaway channel on our Discord server. Try to keep it techy and not use it to sell cars and washing machines, please.
