Gabriele Lippi
Philosophy taught me how to think, ten years of shipping software how to build, and AI lets me do both faster than ever. Six apps of mine are on Google Play, and I’m open to contract work on yours.
I design, build, price and ship them on my own, and each gets its own world: a palette, a voice, sometimes a character. None has ads, analytics or an account to make.
An encrypted vault. The pattern you draw is the key.
Spain’s hourly electricity price at a glance: green is cheap, red is dear, and the cheapest window is already marked.
Barcelona’s festival, the whole programme, offline and in three languages.
A home screen of type alone: your apps, the time, the live Bitcoin price.
Is this position any good? A plain answer, then every number behind it.
A private calendar where far-off days stay quiet and what’s close grows warmer.
A quiet launcher for opening distracting apps less.
Every app has its own page, privacy policy and terms on Projects, and all of them are on my Google Play developer page.
Philosophy has three old words for what makes a thing worth having. I use them as the brief for every app.
It never lies to you.
No ads, no tracking, no dark patterns. Each app says plainly what it does and what it can’t: Cachette tells you before you buy it that a forgotten pattern means a lost vault. Every privacy policy matches its Play Data safety form.
It does its job well, and keeps doing it.
Tests first, small steps, code that stays easy to change: the habits of a software craftsman. Offline first where it matters, and builds that guard themselves — a Cachette build that adds network access fails.
It’s a pleasure to look at and to use.
Every detail chosen, nothing left at its default. HoraLuz turns a tariff into a traffic light; ₿launcher is nothing but type; Mercè takes its colours from the festival poster.
AI agents are in every step of my work: research, specs, code, tests, copy — this website included.
What they can’t supply is judgement: what the product is for, what to leave out, when a detail is finally right. That part is mine, and it’s the part you hire me for. The craft I learned before AI is what keeps the speed safe.
I’m open to contract work: remote from Spain, in English, Italian, Spanish or Catalan.
Product shape, interface, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, billing, privacy policy and store listing: the whole road I take with each of my own apps.
Design direction and engineering for the details that make an app feel made with care, from typography to motion to copy.
re-frame, Reagent, UIx, React and TypeScript, and data visualisation. In production at Pitch; merged work in Logseq and Penpot.
Tests around what matters, then careful improvement one small step at a time, as I did with legacy systems at Lifull Connect.
A master’s in philosophy at the University of Milan taught me to keep a long line of thought coherent. Ten years of shipping software taught me to do it in code, for the people who maintain it.
Fincons Group — my start: requirements, QA and SQL in enterprise software.
Accurat — rich data-visualisation interfaces with React and D3.
Codurance — software craftsman: TDD, extreme programming, clean architecture.
Lifull Connect — full-stack: legacy rescue and greenfield products.
Artificial Solutions — a complex flow-design application in React.
Pitch — data-visualisation tools in ClojureScript.
Since 2023, independent: my own apps, and contract work for others. The longer story · CV
