Questions it can answer

Who is Ricardo?: Ricardo Nunes, a full-stack developer in Portugal. He builds websites for clients and tools for himself. The tools are on this site, as screenshots on made-up data.
What do you build?: Five things, all in use or close to it: Atta Star web: business control: invoices, bank, timesheet Atta Star desktop: one ticket queue across all projects Household finance: two people, private and shared accounts Aforro Tracker: savings certificates, valued from public rates Home network dashboard: a Wi-Fi mesh: access points and what is on them Ask about any of them by name.
Who uses Atta Star web?: Atta Star web is business control for his company: invoices read from their QR codes and matched to the bank, the timesheet, and the projects at a glance. It has four kinds of user. He owns it. The accountant gets a read-only view of the books and a pack to download. A project manager at a client checks the hours billed to them and suggests changes, which come to him to approve. Collaborators see only the projects they're given. Read the case page
And the Atta Star desktop app?: Atta Star desktop is where he develops and manages the projects: one ticket queue across all of them, synced both ways with GitHub issues. A ticket starts a coding session, in VS Code or T3 Code; merging its pull request closes the issue. Only he uses it. Read the case page
What is Household finance?: Household finance is a finance app for a household of two. Each person signs in as themselves, their own accounts stay private until shared, and the groups never add up by accident. It values the savings certificates with Aforro Tracker's engine. Read the case page
What is Aforro Tracker?: Aforro Tracker is a private web app for people in Portugal who hold savings certificates, valued from public rates. It is paused: the core app is built, and the check against real statements is still open. Read the case page
What does the home network dashboard do?: The home network dashboard shows a Wi-Fi mesh: where each access point is, how healthy it is and what is connected to it. It shows totals per device, never what anyone browses. In use, and quiet since its last feature. Read the case page
How is Atta arranged?: How Atta is arranged shared base: skills, core agents, templates ↓ sync · ↑ promote each project: a working copy beside the code ├ agents: owner, architect, reviewer, librarian ├ wiki: what the project learned └ every pull request goes past a reviewer Atta Star: every project reports here An improvement made in one project is promoted on purpose, then every other project gets it. See the Atta page
Why leafcutter ants?: Atta is a genus of leafcutter ants. They don't eat the leaves: they carry them home to grow the fungus the colony lives on. Many small workers, one shared garden. The ant in the footer carries leaves too, if you drop some.
What stack?: Mostly Vue 3 and TypeScript on Vite, Node 22 on the server, SQLite where a database is needed, Vitest and Playwright for tests. The desktop app is Electron. This site is Astro.
How do I reach you?: Through GitHub: github.com/ricnunes. His code is there too.
Are you a real AI?: No. This is a simulation: every answer is written in advance and picked by matching keywords in your question. No AI model runs here, and nothing you type leaves this page.
