A picture of me

Jan Scheiper

Hi, my name is Jan Scheiper, I'm 26 years old and live in Cologne, Germany. This page is a kind of portfolio/hub hybrid, where I showcase some of the stuff I've made over the years. I'm not a great artist though, so don't expect anything super fancy design-wise. Some more fun and gaming oriented things can be found on jangxx.com.

Literalchaos.de

In 2017, I started literalchaos.de with the intention of redoing some of my older projects which were strewn accross several domains and concentrate them in one place, making them nicer in the progress. Currently, seven projects are hosted there, with more coming in the future.

Projects

listen2gether

This webapp lets you get together online, create a playlist collaboratively and then listen to it at the same time. The current version only supports soundcloud, but I'm working on a rewrite, which will add support for YouTube and Spotify as well.

Shooters Roulette

 A game, which can be played at every Shooter Stars bar. It generates random shots to order and playing it can be a great ol' time. This site is not endorsed or in any way affiliated with Shooter Stars GmbH. There is also an alternative version, which looks more like a slot machine.

Knallmeister Music Visualizer

 A dynamic music visualizer based on - but not affiliated with - the YouTube channel TrapCity. Not only does it support playing and visualizing music from soundcloud and YouTube, it also supports using an audio input like a microphone or a virtual loopback device, as well as playing local audio files.

Webhookify

A web service which acts as a bridge between a client running on a computer and the internet on the other side. The client has a simple plugin interface, which can be used to make data accessible to the internet or trigger actions on the computer via webhooks. The documentation is pretty lacking as of right now, but I'm planning on expanding it a lot.

SchubsiGo

An unofficial Pushover client for Linux desktops written in Go. It implements a subset of the Open Client API to bring Pushover notifications to the desktop in a native way, without too much bloat.

Daily Top Askreddit

A YouTube channel of daily auto-generated text-to-speech /r/Askreddit content. Not really a serious endeavour and more of a fun little weekend project.

Leap Motion Overlay for SteamVR

A small app that revitalizes the old Quick Switch functionality of a HMD-mounted Leap Motion Controller. Simply slide your hand over the controller and the "camera feed" is displayed as an overlay inside of the VR headset.

Twitch Auto Recorder 3000

A small Python tool that can watch multiple twitch users and then automatically record their stream as they go live. It also has a plugin system that allows for code to be run after the recording is finished. It's supposed to be run as a service for continuous monitoring, but it can also be run in a one-off way to record something that is being streamed right now.

ovrt-helper

 The unofficial official helper library to simplify the creation of custom apps for OVR Toolkit. It is used in one of my other projects as well, the OVRT Soundpad Custom App which implements Soundpads API in order to bring a soundboard into VR.

Support me

If you want to support what I do you can donate on PayPal or Ko-Fi, but don't forget that I have a day job that pays well, so please only donate if you want to show gratitude and if you have the means. I make stuff out of a passion for creating and not for financial incentives, so never feel pressured into giving me your hard earned money.
