Launching — first issues in preparation

Casicornio is an independent Spanish-language technology publication that Brenda Manrique is building, covering startups, technology and AI. Launch is imminent and the first issues are being prepared. It is an experiment and a product, not a media business, and no audience or revenue figures exist yet.

What it is#

An independent Spanish-language publication exploring startups, technology and AI. The first issues are in preparation.

Engineering a product and earning attention for a product are different skills.

Why it is in an engineering portfolio#

For years her feedback loops were internal: requirements, pull requests, release cycles. Casicornio is a different surface — editorial systems, distribution, positioning — and it is somewhere to be curious about technology in public.

The system behind it#

SourcesResearch queueHuman thesisDraft / assetsPublishFeedback

Research queues, source capture, publishing checklists and analytics can become workflows. Judgment and editorial voice stay human. Automation is part of the system being built, not a substitute for the point of view.

Current status#

Pre-launch. There is no meaningful subscriber base and no revenue, so no numbers are published here.

Frequently asked questions#

How big is Casicornio?

It has not launched yet. The first issues are being prepared, there is no meaningful subscriber base and no revenue, and this portfolio publishes no audience or traffic figures for it.

Why Spanish?

Brenda works in English and Spanish, and Casicornio is aimed at Spanish-speaking technology and startup audiences. It is a deliberate audience choice, not a translation of something else.

Is this a full-time media venture?

No. It is a side project that signals a genuine interest in technology, and it runs alongside her engineering work.

The other half of the build

Casicornio runs alongside the applied-AI work. The build log for that is here.
