The logbook of my projects: what I added, what I changed. Now and then I go on a bit longer and tell how I got there and why I made certain choices.https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/en-UShttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-10-14-manuelleone-sitehttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-10-14-manuelleone-siteI added a blue-ink mascot to the home page of this site that turns its head toward the cursor and changes expression when you click it. The same mascot is the portrait on the About page.Wed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-10-10-pencilhttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-10-10-pencilIn Pencil, feedback analysis starts from the very first arrival: every piece of feedback gets sentiment and tags even before the owner claims the business, so the history is already there when they do. Themes are grouped by concept, so the same theme in different words is counted once, and recurring ones come out with numbers you can reason about.Sat, 10 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-10-05-mensa/https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-10-05-mensa/People who open Menu Mensa on their phone usually look for one thing: what's for lunch today, or on a specific day. For the 2026/27 school year I rebuilt the app starting from there. The main screen is the daily card, with lunch dish by dish, allergens shown with their labels and dinner on the card next to it. Above the card there is a ribbon of the month's school days, with the breaks between one…Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-10-02-pencil/https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-10-02-pencil/With self-service sign-up, merchants create their own business on Pencil and choose their plan, without going through support. Every new business is checked by the staff before it is activated. Applicants receive the outcome by email and in the app and, if needed, can correct their details and submit the request again. The trial period starts when the request is approved.

The + opens a single field: you dictate or paste the sentence and a summary appears with the dog, dates, proposed box and price. Tap Conferma and the booking is saved, with the original sentence kept in the…Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-10-01-note/https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-10-01-note/L'Aquila 2026, Menu Mensa and Medici AQ are personal projects. I set up a Buy Me a Coffee page for people who use them and want to support them, and linked it from the footer of all three apps. I chose a simple link over the official widget: this way no third-party script is loaded and the privacy policy stays as it is.Thu, 01 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-30-pencilhttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-30-pencilI added two comparison views to Pencil: on the dashboard, the "In città" card, which shows how the business ranks against similar ones in its area, and for franchisors a console with the network's points of sale side by side, where those that receive no feedback stand out.Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-09-30-zampe-felici/https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-09-30-zampe-felici/People who work in a kennel use their phone between one box and the next, and on busy days arrivals and departures have to be logged quickly. I built the home page of Zampe Felici around the day. The Today screen shows who is arriving and who is leaving, and each movement is logged with a single tap, with the option to undo it right away. A "To fix" list gathers the movements from past days that…Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-28-claude-skillshttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-28-claude-skillsI created a skill that prepares client documents as DOCX and PDF from a Word template, so the layout and letterhead stay intact even when the file is opened in Google Docs.Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-25-abruzzo-incominghttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-25-abruzzo-incomingI hosted the Abruzzo Incoming fonts directly on the site, so the pages load them without requests to external services.Fri, 25 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-24-tokebihttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-09-24-tokebiI added reminder emails to Tokebì for people who haven't verified their address, haven't completed their profile or haven't logged in for a while.

A road race or a tournament is announced in an article from a local paper, with the date written in the text. I added to L'Aquila 2026 an automatic reading of local news: articles that contain a future date are passed to a language model, which extracts the event details. Uncertain extractions are discarded.

Every morning it downloads data from the Abruzzo health portal and compares it with the previous records, flagging additions, removals and changes to patient caps and offices. I was already using a Python script for this check.

Customers upload a receipt and can share their experience within a time limit set by the venue. Feedback stays private, and the venue only receives aggregate analysis. Uploading a receipt takes an extra step compared with scanning a QR code on the table.

The old WordPress blog hadn't been updated in years and no longer reflected the projects I'm working on. I rewrote the bio, career history and project descriptions.

I also added financial indicators to the dashboard.Sat, 21 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-02-19-laquila-2026/https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-02-19-laquila-2026/I put L'Aquila 2026 online to gather events for the city's year as Italian Capital of Culture. They're published across different channels and can be hard to find. You can search the map, save favorites and add events to your calendar, with a weather forecast for each event's date. The app uses data from official sources and caches it to load pages faster on slow connections.Thu, 19 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-02-16-mensahttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-02-16-mensaI turned Menu Mensa into a PWA: it now installs on your phone like a real app and works offline too.Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-02-10-pencilhttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-02-10-pencilI added weather data to Pencil's business analytics dashboard, so you can match revenue and reviews against the weather on the day.Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-02-09-zampe-felicihttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2026-02-09-zampe-feliciI made Zampe Felici installable as a PWA on phones and tablets, so it opens straight from the home screen.Mon, 09 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-02-08-mensa/https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-02-08-mensa/I built Menu Mensa to check L'Aquila's school lunch menu on a phone, without opening the PDF and finding the right week each time. The site opens straight on today's lunch. I worked on extracting the tables from the official PDFs so each dish has its own entry that the app can use.Sun, 08 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-01-15-zampe-felici/https://manuelleone.it/en/journal/2026-01-15-zampe-felici/Zampe Felici is live, the app I built for a dog boarding kennel. I designed it for people working around the kennels who mostly use their phones. They can manage clients, dogs, kennel assignments and payments from there. I used a static frontend and Supabase for data and authentication, so I have no server to keep running.Thu, 15 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-11-19-pencilhttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-11-19-pencilI built Pencil's rewards system: the venue decides what to offer in exchange for feedback, and every redemption request goes through a dedicated approval flow.Wed, 19 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-10-23-pencilhttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-10-23-pencilThe Pencil dashboard now analyzes feedback sentiment and, by crossing the data, suggests actions on the individual products sold.

The system recognizes the products, checks the purchase is real, and only then lets you leave your opinion and unlocks the rewards.Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-07-31-esblinkhttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-07-31-esblinkI connected ESB Link transfers to the Cessione API: beneficiaries are assigned on their own, by installment and type of ownership.Thu, 31 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-01-17-tokebihttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2025-01-17-tokebiI updated Tokebì to handle tax credits one yearly installment at a time.Fri, 17 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-10-02-tokebihttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-10-02-tokebiI switched on the scoring algorithm in Tokebì: it computes each case's score automatically and assigns a sequential number to sort them in the table.Wed, 02 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-07-04-tokebihttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-07-04-tokebiI added a contract cancellation procedure to Tokebì, usable even after the digital signature has been applied, to allow fixing mistakes in a case.Thu, 04 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-07-01-tokebihttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-07-01-tokebiI added the mandatory anti-money-laundering self-certification: it's now required upfront, from both seller and buyer, before a credit transfer can be completed.Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-04-30-tokebihttps://manuelleone.it/en/journal/#2024-04-30-tokebiTokebì is officially in production!

I started making websites on my own in 2002, joined an agency in 2007 for six years before setting up my own business in 2014. Back then I uploaded everything over FTP, dragging a folder onto the server, without keeping a release history. There's more about those years in About.Sun, 08 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT
