Milano Cerco Affitto
A project I started while apartment-hunting in Milan. Scrapes 8 Facebook rental groups every 6 hours, drops fresh listings on a map, and pings Telegram — so I (and a few friends) can stop scrolling.

Parola — Learn Italian
An offline-first app that teaches 3,400 Italian words from A1 to C2. Each unit walks a handful of words from picture to meaning, sentences, a short story, and a two-voice dialogue built only from words just learned, with spaced repetition scheduling the reviews. Every word is spoken and illustrated: 4,000+ audio clips and 2,700+ images, generated ahead of time through an AI pipeline and checked one by one. No account, no backend, no tracking.
