There once was a builder named Saar,
a midnight-to-dawn coding star!
When Shablam goes BLAM!
and Milat shouts “ciao, fam!”—
one coffee sends him SUPER far!

Milat

One word a day — Hebrew and Italian

Milat (מילת היום — “word of the day”) shows a single curated word each day in Hebrew and Italian. Hebrew entries include nikud. The app stays intentionally minimal: one screen for the daily pair, no quizzes or flashcards. Home screen widgets are available in several sizes so the word is visible without opening the app. Hebrew words are hand-curated toward practical, conversational vocabulary you might not see in a typical classroom or ulpan track; Italian words are AI-assisted.

Whence

Where that song was on screen

A Flutter app that identifies any song with ShazamKit, normalizes metadata with MusicBrainz, enriches results with TMDb (and OMDb as fallback), and caches matches locally for fast repeat lookups — so you can discover where a track appeared in TV and film. Available on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android (Android 12+).

Lexeme

Learn Italian inside the books you read — lexeme.uk

In progress

I'm building Lexeme at lexeme.uk for a specific kind of learner: someone who wants to pick up Italian by reading real novels on their phone — not curated textbook chapters, not gamified drills, and not a browser tab floating over the page. Duolingo, Babbel, and Memrise are great at getting you to open the app every day, but they won't carry you through a 400-page ePub. Beelinguapp gives you parallel stories it chooses; LingQ wants you to live inside its import-and-track ecosystem (and its subscription). Readlang and Language Reactor excel in the browser and on Netflix — not with the Italian ePub you already own. General eReaders don't solve it either. Kindle and Apple Books will look up a word, but tap a conjugated form like andiamo and you often get noise, not andare. FBReader and Readest are built for everyone, with translation and AI features bolted on as extras — Readest even pushes full-book AI translation and chat. Anx Reader centers an AI assistant around the text. That's powerful, but it's the opposite of what I want mid-chapter: one tap, one gloss, back to the story — offline on a plane, no prompt box, no cloud round-trip. Lexeme is the calm, native reader I wished existed for that gap: open any Italian ePub, tap any word, stay on the page with an instant English meaning — lemmatized to the base form, Wiktionary cross-references resolved offline, audiobook read-along and a personal vocabulary list when you want them. Built for pleasure readers chasing fluency, not for people who want another study app.

Obi

Passive vinyl companion for Android TV

In progress

Drop the needle, and Obi identifies the track, pulls up the album art, and scrolls synchronized lyrics — all without touching the remote again until it's time to flip. A passive vinyl companion for Android TV built with Jetpack Compose for TV.
