Preparing Meetup Slides

Meetups need good slides. We shipped two new decks this week, both built as self-contained HTML files using our slide creation workflow with Claude Code.

Community Intro Deck

The first deck is a general introduction to 02Ship — what we are, what we do, and how to get involved. It's designed for the opening of any meetup or event where we need to onboard new people quickly.

We created both a full version and a clean variant. The clean version strips out internal notes and works better for public-facing presentations.

You can find it at content/meetup/02ship-community-intro-clean.html.

Claude Code for Non-Coding Work

The second deck covers something we get asked about constantly: using Claude Code for tasks that aren't traditional programming. Think project planning, content drafting, data analysis, file organization — work that benefits from AI assistance but doesn't involve writing application code.

This talk is aimed at non-programmers who are curious about AI coding tools but don't see themselves as developers. It's one of the most requested topics from our community.

Both decks live at content/meetup/ — 02ship-community-intro-clean.html and claude-code-non-coding-clean.html.

Telegram QR Code on Closing Slides

One thing we noticed at previous meetups: telling people to "join our Telegram" at the end of a talk doesn't convert well. People forget, or they don't want to type in a URL.

So we added a Telegram QR code directly to the closing slide of the community intro deck. Attendees can scan it with their phone camera and join instantly. Simple fix, much better follow-through.

The HTML Slides Workflow

All our slide decks are single HTML files — no PowerPoint, no external dependencies. We generate them with Claude Code using our /create-slide skill. Version-controlled, fully customizable, and easy to share as a link or present in any browser.
