Sin ser técnico, resulta increíble disponer de estos nuevos superpoderes. Durante el último año he lanzado una variedad de aplicaciones web (sociales) con herramientas asistidas por IA — Lovable, Claude Code y otras —, cubriendo casos de uso muy distintos. Todo en abierto: cada proyecto publica sus especificaciones y un registro de desarrollo continuo.
Las herramientas han cambiado; la disciplina no. Cada proyecto tiene un PRD y un diseño técnico de verdad antes de escribir código, una batería de pruebas, maquetación mobile-first, y seguridad, privacidad y accesibilidad tratadas como requisitos y no como añadidos de última hora.
Algunos ejemplos:
The most comprehensive global directory of e-participation tools, projects and references. First launched in September of 2009, the site went dark around 2021 due to maintenance issues. Scripted the catalogue out of Archive.org snapshots and reverse-engineered the app: 396 tools, 327 projects, 276 references.
The social graph of German Schlager credits: who wrote what, who performed it, and where the data came from. Built and maintained by a team of AI agents running locally on a cron schedule — 10K songs, 3K people, 24K credits, and counting — each sourced and confidence-scored.
A peacebuilding initiative envisioning a Middle East (re-)connected by high-speed rail. Advanced georeferencing pipeline, turning scanned images of 19th- and 20th-century survey maps into usable geodata, with measured accuracy. Every record carries its source. Full dataset is open source.
A vocabulary trainer for advanced Spanish learners working toward the DELE C1: the top 10,000 high-frequency words. A separate Python pipeline builds and ranks the word list — and I’m the target user, building it against my own exam prep.
Scaled, multi-lane history timelines built for visual comparison — seeing what overlapped what. One-click import of structured data from Wikidata, and the whole app runs bilingual in English and Spanish.
Re-imagining the online survey: questions roll out over time, participants watch results emerge, and shifts in opinion get tracked. Agile, where the traditional survey is waterfall. Simulated test runs to stress-test the architecture against the product requirements document (PRD) before a single line of code is even written.
