About this site

popado is an independent publication by Giovanni Martina — a software engineer building small, purposeful projects at the intersection of code, curiosity, and independence.

This is where ideas get shipped. From micro SaaS experiments and AI workflows to tools for investors, each project reflects a drive to create, simplify, and explore. Along the way, you might find occasional detours into altered perspectives and meditative practice — always with a practical edge.

What to expect

• Build logs from micro apps and digital tools

• Thoughts on automation, financial freedom, and staying small on purpose

• Experiments in AI, Rust, and indie publishing

• Occasional reflections from the edges of productivity and perception
