OinkAndStuff 🐗
OinkAndStuff started in 2014 when Facebook decided to shut down it’s Windows App called Facebook Messenger without releasing an alternative and forcing users to navigate to facebook.com website.
I decided to release a Chrome Extension based on the m.facebook.com that was the very best replacement to Facebook Messenger App shutdown. It was a instant success.I started to expand with newer Apps and Browser Extensions focused on mobile and web applications for: Social Media Networks, News, Events, Crypto.
I explored the Google ranking algorithm to reach thousands of users worldwide without spending a dime in marketing.
The combination of a Website with an Android App and a Chrome Extension will respectively value the rankings of Google Search, Google Play and Google Chrome WebStore which have daily over 2 Billion active users. More recently also included the power of Progressive Web Apps with Android Instant Apps to unlock the next gen software development.Nowadays OinkAndStuff have over 50 Apps/Extensions and over 1 Million monthly active users on 190 country’s and over 2000 new installs per day.

World Wide Events 🚀
Prized by IPN and European Space Agency (ESA BIC Portugal) including 6 months incubation on IPN Cowork: Link.
World Wide Events is the World’s most powerful search engine to retrieve all Local Events in a targeted region.
No need to waste more time searching on dozens of different websites just to know which Events are happening. No need for logins, passwords or configurations.
It works in the same logic of Booking, Trivago or Momondo, but as an Events aggregator. Search now or plan later.The platform is also available for other business (B2B – https://wwevents.fun/business.html) to integrate the search engine.
For example, a hotel can integrate our platform on its digital network and show to its guests all the local events happening in town.
The search engine works for all over the world so it’s a perfect fit for global companies in the area of Tourism, Travel and Social Media.

Reefcentral Live 📡
In 2010 I built my first Reef Aquarium.
Soon after I realized I the need to remotely control some aquarium equipment’s and water parameters.
With those issues in mind I start working on solutions to accomplish that.First it started with an Android Application that with given some URL or IP Address (my Home Internet Address) I could make a Ping/Port-Scan in a cycle of 1-2 hours and know if I have Internet / Electricity at Home. Electricity is crucial for a Reef Aquarium and is what keeps it alive.
After that I evolved to a more elaborated solution. With an Arduino with lots of sensors and Internet access I could monitor on a regular basis (15 minutes) everything I what and upload data to a server and access it online.
