projects

a collection of personal projects that are either still around, or that i just want to document.

this page is a work in progress!

minidisc label generator

md-label.jkap.iogithub.com/jkap/minidisc-label-maker

a sample generated label, "CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST" by Tyler, the Creator

quick tool i setup to generate printable labels for standard minidiscs. intended for recording full albums using a NetMD player.

served as a useful test bed for canvas in react; preparation for a feature we never ended up shipping on cohost.

i still get DMs on reddit sometimes about this. apparently it's popular in some minidisc facebook groups too. as far as i can tell there was effectively no crossover between cohost and this1; kinda fun to have two "popular" projects with no audience overlap.

sailor moon hotline

formerly at +1 (850) 898-9559

a phone number you could call to hear a random english dub episode of sailor moon. saw a very sudden surge in popularity in early 2021, requiring me to shut it down due to cost. maybe someday i'll bring it back.

UPSHIFT (2016)

https://jkap.itch.io/upshift

a jam game made with Lena Raine and Hayley Jay for ludum dare 35. i haven't tested it in years so it might not work anymore, and to be fair it kinda barely worked even then.

it was fun, i liked working on it, it's still the only game jam i've done and one of the only games i've actually finished. i consider myself a temporarily embarrassed game designer (joke) and this is some of the only evidence i have to support that.

  1. honestly shocking given some of the demographic on cohost
