Hi there,

In this developer newsletter, we usually keep the focus on technical aspects of Blues, Notecard, and Notehub. But today, we're breaking format for something big: we’ve just closed a new $25 million funding round led by Sequoia Capital. This isn’t just a milestone, it’s a validation of our vision and momentum. More importantly, it accelerates our ability to build, scale, and innovate right alongside you. Thanks for being part of the journey. 💙

Scalable IoT

Coming up tomorrow(!) Blues teams up with our partners Ubidots and Sento to dig into what it really takes for an IoT developer to scale a product. No fluff, no marketing jargon, just straight-up real-world insights.

Notecard CLI

The Notecard CLI (arguably the most underutilized tool in the Blues arsenal) just got a major usability upgrade. It’s now available via Homebrew, making installation and updates a breeze. Whether you're on macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL, getting started is now faster than ever.

New Sample Apps

We’re constantly expanding our library of open source sample apps that showcase best practices you can browse, borrow, and build on. Our latest answers a popular request: how to create a custom cloud service that accepts data from a Notehub route, with examples in Node.js, Python, and ASP.NET.
