ABOUT

Who I am

I'm Tajammal Maqbool, a software engineer building web applications and games. Shipping software has been my job since 2020, working across the stack with React, Next.js and Node.js, and building games in Unity, Phaser.js and Three.js.

Those two sides meet in ReactionBench: a precise measurement tool that feels like a game. The site is mine to build and maintain, and every test and article goes past me for an accuracy review before it goes live.

WHY REACTIONBENCH

Why I built it

Hand someone a number with no hint of how it was measured and you have most reaction-time sites. That bothered me as a developer, because timing in the browser is genuinely hard, and pretending otherwise yields numbers that mean nothing.

Hence ReactionBench times to the painted frame, states the hardware latency it cannot remove, and reports a median rather than your luckiest tap. A cited source backs every statistic on the site, and I check the methodology myself.

A COMPLAINT OR CORRECTION?

Spotted something wrong?

If a fact looks off, a test is broken, or you have a copyright concern, I want to hear about it — every complaint reaches me directly. Here's how to raise one, including the copyright and DMCA process.

Questions

Frequently asked

Who writes and reviews the content on ReactionBench?
I do. Building and maintaining the site is my work, and every test and article gets an accuracy review from me before publication. Anything that reads as though no human checked it is a bug, so please tell me.
Is ReactionBench a solo project?
Yes. ReactionBench is an independent project I build and run myself. Wherever the site says "we," read it as shorthand for the project rather than a large team.
How do you keep the tests and numbers accurate?
Timing runs to the painted frame with a sub-millisecond clock, scores take the median of several rounds, and a cited source backs every percentile or baseline on the site. The methodology page carries the full method.
How can I reach you?
Use the contact page for questions and feedback, or the complaints page to report an error or a copyright concern. I'm also on my personal site, GitHub, LinkedIn and Upwork.
