i’m from south tyrol / austria and study software engineering.

most of what i build is web stuff, small tools, automation, and lately a lot of things around ai-assisted development.

usually the reason is pretty simple: something annoys me, takes too long, or works in a way i don't like, so i try to make something better.

sometimes that turns into an actual app. sometimes it stays a small tool that solves exactly one problem.

• hide-sensitive-information hides things like api keys, emails, tokens, and other sensitive information on websites. mostly because accidentally putting an api key into a screenshot is a pretty stupid way to lose one.

• better-github-pr-view makes github pull requests easier to scan by putting more of the useful information directly into the pr view.

• autocron automatically schedules tasks and habits into your calendar based on the constraints you give it. the basic idea is that i don't really want to manually reorganize my calendar every time something changes.

• codex-acc-sw a small tool for switching between multiple chatgpt / codex accounts quickly. mostly useful if you have multiple subscriptions and don't want account switching to be annoying.

• voxtd a podcast player with automatic transcripts, highlights, and clips.

• orderly (private) an order manager i built for festivals.

• moodinator a simple mood tracker. that's basically it.

• home the source code for this website.

right now it's mostly:

• studying software engineering
• building tools for problems i actually have
• experimenting with ai-assisted development
• shipping small projects and then fixing the parts that turn out to be bad

i tend to learn more once something is real and people can actually use it, so i prefer getting things out relatively early instead of thinking about them forever.

i also write sometimes.

there isn't really one format for it. some things are a few paragraphs, some are basically notes to myself, and occasionally something turns into a proper post.

• snacks -> quick notes, ideas, and small experiments
• dev log -> what i'm working on, what broke, and what i figured out while building it
• blog -> longer posts when i have enough to say that it needs the space

everything lives here:

=> mauroner.net

i like building useful things and getting them into a usable state early.

then i use them, find the annoying parts, and improve those.

most of the things i know came from building something before i fully knew how to build it.

so yeah. build things, learn from them, and leave them a bit better than you found them.
