Software for people who like their Mac.

I make apps for Mac, iPhone and the web, along with games you can play in your browser. Browse the collection or read about how I build them.

The apps

Apps for Mac, iPhone and the browser.

Notes and courses

Written the way the apps are built.

A build write-up for every app, and the odd note on the craft. The courses are free, with no sign-up.

Orbit Cards: why I made X headers out of the people you talk with

On X, the people you keep talking with are what make an account worth following, and none of them show up on your profile. So I made Orbit Cards, a small web app that reads your X once and turns those people into a header, a recap and a few cards worth posting.

Wildfire Lab: I built a fire simulator to see how wildfires spread

Most summers the hills around Skopje burn. I wanted to understand why one fire stays small and another runs for kilometres, so I built Wildfire Lab, a free simulator that spreads fire across real satellite maps and 3D terrain using the same equations fire scientists use.

Sinkers: I made a game where founders sink each other's apps

I wanted a way for people who make apps to compete for attention that was more fun than bidding for it. So I built Sinkers, a free browser game where your app rides on a toy warship and the only way up the leaderboard is to sink whoever is above you.
