Build in public
Why I started Ciao Builders, a community for people building in Italy
People building products in Italy almost always do it alone. Why I opened Ciao Builders, who it's for, who it isn't for and how it works.

Notes on AI, tools and founder life. I write when I have something concrete to say.
ToolMy stack for a mobile app, working alone
Eight tools to build and ship an iOS and Android app alone, with React Native and Expo on top and the same base as the web underneath.

I barely write any code by hand. But AI gets you to eighty per cent fast, and the twenty per cent left over is where the real work sits.
ToolMy stack for shipping a web app alone
Eight tools to get a web app online alone: Next.js, Vercel, Supabase, Resend, PostHog, Featurebase, Namecheap, GitHub.
