About

A journal of evidence

viborc.com is an independent editorial publication by Vibor Cipan. It began as a personal digital-storytelling project built around data, analysis, maps, and visualization. That foundation remains, but the publication’s scope has grown with the questions it is trying to answer.

The central concern now is how intelligence is produced, interpreted, and used: by people, institutions, and increasingly by machines. The aim is not to chase every headline. It is to publish work that rewards attention and keeps its reasoning visible.

What viborc.com covers

The publication focuses on:

• artificial intelligence and the systems built around it;
• intelligence analysis, cognition, and decision-making;
• OSINT and information warfare;
• quantum computing and its wider implications;
• geopolitics, security, and power;
• technical and institutional infrastructure connecting those fields.

Data visualization remains an important method. Maps, tables, diagrams, and interactive tools are used when they help readers inspect evidence or understand a system–not simply as decoration.

Editorial approach

New work takes two forms: essays and research. Data work–maps, visualizations, and interactive investigations–is a way of displaying evidence within either form, not a parallel shelf. Across both forms, the editorial ambition is the same: be curious, precise, independent-minded, and honest about uncertainty.

Sources should be attributable where possible. Facts, interpretation, and judgment should remain distinguishable. Complex subjects should be explained clearly without pretending that they are simple.

Earlier work remains available in the archive at its original addresses; selected articles are reviewed and upgraded in place.

Vibor Cipan

Vibor Cipan is a Croatian technology professional specializing in growth, community strategy, developer relations, and ecosystem building for AI products and open-source technology. He is also a published author and former Microsoft MVP.

He was one of Lovable’s first ten team members, where he led business operations and community. He also ran the community around GPT Engineer as its open-source repository grew beyond 50,000 GitHub stars. He later served as Senior Manager for Developer Relations, Community and Success at Zencoder.ai. Today, he leads growth at Daydream, helping build an ecosystem around open-source tools for real-time generative audio, video, and world models.

Before moving into generative AI, Vibor spent fourteen years building and leading user-experience and software-development companies. He co-founded UX Passion and Point Jupiter, working across product strategy, software, user experience, research, and international technology communities.

His published work covers Russian influence and disinformation in the Balkans, knowledge graphs and personalized digital public services, and technology-supported democratic participation. He holds an MSc in Global Management from the University of Salford.

At viborc.com, he writes about artificial intelligence, intelligence and OSINT, information warfare, geopolitics, quantum computing, data, and the relationship between evidence and power. He also builds maps, data visualizations, and interactive tools when they make evidence easier to inspect.

Independence and support

viborc.com is written and edited by Vibor Cipan and operated by DUX Consulting, a Croatian sole-trader business (obrt) operated by Vibor Cipan. Editorial conclusions are not commissioned by advertisers or sponsors.
