About
About the History of Ricardo Neudorfer personal archive.
historyofricardo.com is a read-only personal archive. It is not a portfolio, not a CV, and not a showcase of current or planned work. Everything documented here has already happened and is complete.
What this archive is
This archive documents two subjects in Ricardo Neudorfer's history:
Gaming history (2016 – present) — Every gaming platform from the PSP in 2016 through to the current PC and PS5 setup from late 2025. The archive documents the devices, the platform context, and the game library. It does not attempt to document every session or every game ever played — only what is currently in the library and the platforms that were owned.
Development history (2023 – 2026) — The period from Ricardo's first code in early 2023 through the end of active development in 2026. Five software products were shipped during this period. All are retired. The archive documents each product in detail: what it did, how it worked, and what remains. Four earlier projects from the 2023–2024 period exist only as names — their domains expired and no data survived.
Why this archive exists
There is no single reason. Personal archives serve different purposes for different people. For this one: the development period produced five real products that real people used. When those products went offline, the only record of them was in memory. This archive preserves that record in a structured, searchable, permanent form.
The gaming history adds context. Gaming was the earlier and longer-running interest, predating development by seven years. The two subjects are part of the same history.
What this archive does not contain
This archive does not document:
- Current projects or work in progress
- Future plans
- Personal information beyond what is directly relevant to the gaming and development history
- Financial information about the projects
- User data or statistics from the retired products
For current work, see explorericardo.com.
Archive structure
Pages in this archive are written in Markdown and rendered as wiki-style articles. Each page covers a specific subject — a project, a period of time, a platform, or a category.
Pages link to each other using the <a href="/page-name" class="wl">Page Name</a> wiki-link convention. Following links between pages is the intended way to navigate. The sidebar on the left provides section navigation. The table of contents on the right side of each article links to sections within the current page.
New pages can be added by creating a Markdown file in the content/ directory with the appropriate frontmatter. The archive is built with Next.js 16.2.7.
