About

Hi, I’m Kami.

I’m a developer and university student who enjoys building small things on the internet, from simple web tools to games. Some of them are useful, and some are just fun little experiments.

This site is a mix of both.

Here you’ll find guides about physical media like CDs and burning, content around Y2K aesthetics and old tech, and small interactive projects I’ve built myself. I like working with ideas that feel nostalgic but still practical today.

I’ve always been interested in how things work, especially when it comes to technology. Whether it’s understanding formats like CD-R vs CD-RW or building a small browser game, I enjoy breaking things down and turning ideas into something usable and fun.

The goal of this site is simple: to create useful content, share small tools, and explore ideas that sit somewhere between tech, creativity, and nostalgia.

If you enjoy old tech, Y2K-inspired aesthetics, small projects, or experimental web tools, you’ll probably find something here.

Projects

Some of the tools and small projects on this site are built as experiments, learning projects, or just because I thought they would be fun to make.

I built a random Pokémon generator while learning JavaScript

  I built a random Pokémon generator while learning JavaScript Open Tool Page View Source Code A while ago, when I started learning JavaScript, I made a small project just to understand how things actually work. Nothing serious, just trying things out and seeing what happens. Recently I saw a TikTok where someone was building a random Pokémon team using Google’s number generator. And I thought, wait, I already made something like that. So I went back and found this old project again. It’s basically just a small website where you press a button and it gives you a random Pokémon. It picks a random number, sends a request to an API, and then shows the name and the image. That’s all it does, but at the time it felt like a big step. The main reason I built it was because I wanted to understand how websites actually get data. Before that, everything I did was kind of static. This was one of the first times where I worked with real data coming from somew...

How to Use APIs in a Web Game (Pokémon Example with JSON Optimization)

How I Built a Pokémon API Game and Optimized It Using JSON I built a simple browser game where you compare two Pokémon and guess which one has higher stats. The idea is very simple. You see two Pokémon and pick the one you think has the higher value. The game uses real data from an API, in this case the PokéAPI. That makes it a good small project to understand how APIs work in a real scenario. Overview Random Pokémon Generator Fetching Data per Round Using a Local JSON File Performance Impact Conclusion At the beginning I used the most direct approach. Every time the user clicked a button, the game sent a fetch request to the API. I had already used this pattern in an earlier project, a random Pokémon generator, so it felt natural to reuse it. For that kind of tool it works fine. The problem started when I turned the idea into a game. In a higher or lower game you do not just fetch once. You fetch multiple times per round. One round needs two Pokémon. Ten rounds can...
