The irritation
JBR began as a specific publishing and automation experiment whose original working materials remain part of the broader JBigs archive.

JBR
A retired JBigs project kept in the public catalog under its original initials and current status rather than rewritten into a cleaner success story.

Built because…
The real build story.
What I built
I developed the project far enough to test its central workflow, presentation, and the recurring work required to keep its output useful.
The hard part
Recurring publishing concepts depend on sustained input quality and operational attention, not just the code that produces the first edition.
Under the casing
Proof, not decoration.

Outcome and lesson.
Where it landed
JBR is retired. This entry intentionally avoids filling gaps in the surviving public record with invented product details or results.
What stayed
A project can have a legitimate place in a portfolio before every historical artifact has been prepared for republication.
This project has a physical address.
In the playable workshop, JBR lives in the Archive Yard as a jbr press drawer. You can inspect it without unlocking anything.
