Projects

Not everything. Only the work where the context, the contribution and the useful residue are clear enough to be worth keeping here.

2026 · Text reader

Leggimi

Concept and development with AI assistance

A personal need turned into a practical tool, developed with AI assistance.

Leggimi con un documento nella coda e i controlli di lettura in italiano

A small tool for listening to Markdown and text files in Italian. Open a document or a folder, choose a voice, and press play.

Context

Notes pile up and eyes get tired. I wanted to listen to text files through a simple player without converting each document.

Contribution

I designed the flow and built the reader with AI assistance: local file import, Markdown cleanup, a queue, playback controls and Italian voice selection.

Value

Documents can be read in sequence and resumed from a chosen sentence. The reader runs in the browser and uses the voices exposed by the device.

  • Listen to single files, multiple selections or folders.
  • Adjust speed, pause and choose the next sentence.
  • Local and online voices are clearly identified.
2026 · Zine + editorial site

zine.coffee

Co-author, photography, editorial system and Astro development

A paper object with a digital side entrance.

Editorial preview of the zine.coffee website

Coffee Is Not Dead (Yet) is an independent zine about specialty coffee: paper, voice, photography and a light website that does not try to look more important than the thing it presents.

Context

The risk was simple: taking a physical, lateral, slightly imperfect project and turning it online into yet another polite landing page. The site had to make the zine easier to find without sanding off its voice, paper feeling and character.

Contribution

I worked between idea, content and form: editorial tone, photography, page structure, content architecture and Astro implementation. The technical layer needed to disappear just enough to let the zine stay in front.

Value

The digital presence makes the project easier to read and share without dressing it in something that does not belong to it. People understand what is inside, who is behind it and why it is worth following.

  • The site treats the zine as an editorial object, not as a product with a landing page attached.
  • The structure can grow with issues, articles, credits and practical paths without being rebuilt every time.
  • The tone stays recognizable: clear enough, slightly sideways where it should be.
2026 · Nonsense webapp

Cetriolo

Concept, microcopy and development

Controlled nonsense, a tiny gesture, disproportionate care.

Preview of the Cetriolo webapp

A deliberately useless and therefore suspiciously honest webapp: you click a cucumber, get a sentence, watch a counter go up and for a moment the internet stops taking itself so seriously.

Context

The web is full of tools promising focus, growth, productivity and other things that make you want to close the laptop. Cetriolo starts from the opposite side: it promises nothing, solves nothing and stores nothing important. Precisely for that reason, it had to work well.

Contribution

I built the whole experience: idea, tone, interaction, random lines, animations, daily counter and microcopy. The challenge was treating something stupid with enough precision to make it feel inevitable.

Value

The value is in the disproportion: giving rhythm, memory and identity to a tiny gesture. If something useless stays in your head, maybe it was not completely useless after all.

  • Click, read, count, start again. A mechanism reduced to the bone.
  • An absurd but controlled tone.
  • A daily reset at 23:59, because even nonsense deserves discipline.
  • A small, memorable project cared for more than strictly necessary.
