Dev, AI and creator toolsin front of a communitythat asks real questions.
I integrate tools and brands into real technical content: live streams, tests, clips, build-in-public and community recaps. No fake ads, no inflated numbers. If a product holds up to a real demo in front of devs, builders and AI-curious creators, then it's worth talking about.
I don't just sell ad space.
I bring a product into a real context.
TheVan.dev speaks to an Italian niche of developers, builders, creators and people interested in applied AI. The value isn't just how many impressions a post gets — it's fit, trust, real testing and native integration into the content.
Who I talk to
The project talks to people who build, experiment, and want to understand what actually works.
Where a collaboration
can live.
Possible formats
The collaboration should feel like a TheVan.dev piece, not an ad slapped on top.
Tool or Trap?
Honest test of a dev, AI or creator tool inside a real workflow. If it works, you'll see it. If it doesn't, I say so.

Ideal fit
Fit matters more than category. The product has to make sense for people who build, automate, create, or want to understand AI and software better.
What I don't accept
Trust is worth more than a bad sponsorship.
- gambling
- scams
- shoddy products
- false promises
- shady crypto
- tools I wouldn't actually test
- sponsors that don't fit dev/AI/creator/community
- deals that would make TheVan.dev look like a hype-guru moneygrab
Numbers and context
Public numbers get updated periodically. I prefer to show real data and context — not inflate metrics to look bigger than I am.
Got a tool that
holds up to a real demo?
If your product makes sense for devs, builders, creators or people working with AI and automation — drop a line. I'll evaluate it for fit, real usefulness and coherence with the community.
