## Notes on building for the web

[Article ### Cadence: I stopped scattering my life across apps and built one Notes in two apps, a new habit tracker every month, trips planned wherever I happened to be sitting. So I described the app I actually wanted, Claude built it, and thirty trackers now live in one place on my own disk.](https://karakabakov.com/posts/cadence) [Article ### Warpath: the aim preview is a second physics engine A medieval Peggle built in Phaser and Matter, with 48 boards drawn as pictures, a spacing guarantee the tests hold to, and a shot predictor that runs the real solver in a headless world rather than approximating it.](https://karakabakov.com/posts/warpath)

## Let's build something amazing together!

I am a Senior Software Engineer in Skopje, working remotely with teams anywhere — eleven years of React, React Native and Node.js, a good part of it leading the people building alongside me. I take on product work, design systems and technical leadership. Everything here is free and open: the courses need no sign-up, the writing has no paywall, and email is the fastest way to reach me.
