Look before building
Routines, frustrations and small workarounds reveal more than a list of imagined features.
How observations become products.
I pay attention to how people plan, move, remember and make decisions—then look for where technology can reduce friction without demanding a new system.
I'm Gleb Lapkovsky, an independent builder and product thinker.
My process starts before an interface exists. I look at how people plan, move, remember and decide—and at the workarounds they use when existing tools fall short.
Jikoku and Peripatos come from that same approach: one looks at planning and context; the other at movement and discovery. In both, technology is a tool, not the starting point.
How I think
Respect existing behavior
A product should fit the way people already act instead of demanding a new system for its own sake.
Use technology deliberately
Every technical choice should make a real experience clearer, calmer or more useful.
From observation to structure.
Observation becomes questions. Questions become models, diagrams and small experiments. Only then does a product take shape.
