## Projects (the register)

- Schulnavi (live, 2026): All 5,756 schools of Austria on one interactive map — search, filter across twelve school types, compare. Built on official open data from Statistik Austria (school year 2023/24), enriched with OpenStreetMap; no sign-up, no tracking. It began in 2024 as a student project at HTL Perg and became a finished tool in 2026, when Statistik Austria opened the school location data. — https://schulnavi.at
- belegwerk (open source, 2026): Invoicing for small Austrian businesses, as simple as files: a JSON file is the invoice, one command renders the PDF and keeps a tamper-evident register — every entry chained to the previous one by SHA-256. The mandatory fields of § 11 UStG are enforced, not recommended. No server, no database, no account, no subscription. Open source under MIT. — https://github.com/Artaeon/belegwerk
- Schulmittag (live, 2026): School lunch in Austria still runs on paper in many places — parents fill in forms, the office copies them into spreadsheets, the municipality bills by hand. Schulmittag replaces that chain. I am CTO; each institution gets its own isolated instance with its own database, rolled out in minutes on fleetdeck, our own PaaS. Under contract: Stadtgemeinde Gallneukirchen, Petrinum Linz, Sportmittelschule Tulln — more in preparation. — https://schulmittag.at
- Stoicera Group (live): The company Sebastian Kern and I run. Its public register lists 25 works, 12 in operation — municipalities, schools, businesses. Fair prices, pro bono for churches and NGOs. — https://stoicera.com
- Alpine-X AI (live, 2026): I designed this platform around one idea: AI agents should work like employees, not chat windows — each with its own workspace and files, fixed workflows like analysis → review → approval, a human signing off at defined points, every step SHA-256-signed. Live, with free access to try. — https://alpinex-ai.de
- Austrian Business (live, 2025): My free magazine for independent business and technology analysis from Austria — “Tiefgang statt Schlagzeilen”: no ads, no sponsors, no trackers, content under CC BY 4.0. The editorial process is software: articles are Markdown in Git, published by pipeline. I write myself too — most recently on data debt in Austrian industry. — https://austrianbusiness.at
- christlichdenken.at (live, 2025): A growing library that explains the Bible not from personal belief but from grounded exegesis — 346 verified scripture passages, every argument laid open, no pious platitudes. I am a co-author of the book that collects all of it: “Christlich denken — Eine Bibliothek von Denkwegen”, free as PDF and EPUB, no registration, no tracking, regenerated with every new publication. — https://christlichdenken.at
- ABM for ALL (live): The open arm of the magazine: free tools and workshops for new founders in Austria. I run the workshops myself. — https://tools.austrianbusiness.at
- LugmayrKern (live): The regional IT service provider of the Stoicera Software Group, run with Sebastian Kern — developing, modernising, and operating software for businesses and private clients. I head development and IT infrastructure. — https://lugmayrkern.at
- Covveal (live): My own SaaS product, in operation for several years. It runs stably and quietly does its job. — https://covveal.de
- Ikaze Vienna (completed, 2024): A bilingual platform for a cultural association that was not findable online — membership, events, and room booking in one place, with an editorial system the association operates without us. Plus Google Workspace for Non-Profits. Built at Stoicera with Sebastian. — https://ikaze-africa.org
- Dr. Erwin Schatz (completed, 2024): Branding, website, and editorial system for the practice of Dr. Erwin Schatz. I was responsible for development — the site runs on LitusCMS, our own CMS, so the practice maintains its content itself. Sebastian handled photography and training. — https://dr-schatz.at
- Diözese Linz (completed): IT support and work around the website for the Diocese of Linz — provided without charge, no commissioned work against invoice. Church work is not a business model for me; it is a conviction.
- LITUS CMS (live): I wrote this CMS for websites that are updated rarely, but by their owners — practices and small businesses that want to own their content instead of renting it. In production at dr-schatz.at.
- NOR (in preparation): Faith-driven fashion, my next venture. Every piece unique. Not started yet — planned for Q4 2026.
- Trippin (in preparation): A community-first travel platform for people who want to explore consciously, not consume destinations. Planned — not started yet.

## Writing

- [Ein Buch, das sich selbst erneuert](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/ein-buch-das-sich-selbst-erneuert): Das freie Buch von christlichdenken.at wird bei jeder Veröffentlichung neu erzeugt. Was passiert, wenn man ein Buch wie Software behandelt — und warum.
- [Werkzeuge, die tragen](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/werkzeuge-die-tragen): nerve und fleetdeck sind keine Nebenprojekte: Auf ihnen läuft der Betrieb von Schulmittag. Warum wir tragende Infrastruktur selbst bauen — und offenlegen.
- [Eine Instanz je Einrichtung](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/eine-instanz-je-einrichtung): Warum Schulmittag jeder Gemeinde und jeder Schule ihre eigene, isolierte Instanz gibt — und was das mit Vertrauen, Datenschutz und ruhigem Schlaf zu tun hat.
- [Wer baut, antwortet auch](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/wer-baut-antwortet-auch): Der Satz, nach dem wir arbeiten — und was er kostet. Über Verantwortung in der Software, im Unterricht und im eigenen Namen.
- [Software für Gemeinden: Was Digitalisierung wirklich braucht](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/software-fuer-gemeinden): Schulausspeisung auf Papier, Anmeldungen per Zuruf, Abrechnung von Hand. Was ich beim Bau von Schulmittag über kommunale Digitalisierung gelernt habe.
- [KI-Agenten statt Chatfenster](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/ki-agenten-statt-chatfenster): Ein Chatfenster reicht für Einfälle, nicht für Abläufe. Warum KI im Betrieb einen Arbeitsbereich braucht — und einen Menschen, der freigibt.
- [Warum wir Festpreise machen](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/warum-wir-festpreise-machen): Ein Stundensatz belohnt Langsamkeit. Ein Festpreis belohnt Klarheit. Warum wir bei Stoicera ein Ergebnis schulden — und keine Stunden.
- [Open Source als Dienst](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/open-source-als-dienst): Warum ich an Open Source glaube — nicht als Geschäftsmodell, sondern als Haltung. Über das Teilen von Wissen und Code.
- [Technologie und Ethik](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/technologie-und-ethik): Mit großer technischer Macht kommt Verantwortung. Gedanken über die ethische Dimension unserer Arbeit als Entwickler.
- [Warum ich programmiere](https://raphaellugmayr.at/gedanken/warum-ich-programmiere): Programmieren ist mehr als ein Beruf — es ist eine Art zu denken. Über die Schönheit von Code und die Freude am Erschaffen.
