What it does
Browser tool for US expats in Japan: answer seven questions and get a filing checklist (FBAR, FATCA Form 8938, RSUs, NISA/iDeCo, Foreign Tax Credit, wire transfers) linked to IRS.gov and Japan's National Tax Agency. Plain JavaScript, run entirely in the browser as an installable offline web app; no answers are sent to a server, only analytics page views. MIT; no 'not tax advice' disclaimer.
Where it fits on the map
Not on the map: for individual taxpayers.
The map places maintained projects for a company tax department or a tax authority, without a demo or paid-service flag. Everything else stays on the list with its label.
