Independent projects · igweb.ca

A tinkerer’s home for ideas, code, and curious experiments.

From AI experiments to useful web apps, desktop tools, self-hosted services, and hardware projects; this is where I build, break, and iterate.

The workbench

Projects & experiments

A home for things built out of curiosity & necessity.

AI projects & experiments

AI-assisted apps, local model tests, prompt experiments, and tools that make everyday tasks a little easier.

Self-hosted home lab

Services, monitoring, networking, and the occasional detour into making the infrastructure behave.

Self-hostedLinuxNetworking

Software & utilities

Standalone apps, scripts, web toys, and small solutions to annoyances that probably only I have.

UtilitiesOpen sourceCode

Proofs of concept

Rough edges welcome. A place for prototypes, feasibility tests, and ideas that may or may not go anywhere.

Notes & documentation

Build notes, setup guides, lessons learned, and the details future selves tend to forget.

Individual project links will be added as they take shape. There are no warranties of any kind, express or implied. These are projects, not products.

A note from the garage

Not a business.
Just a place to build.

Idea Garage is an independent project space for following curiosity wherever it leads. No product funnels and no promises that any experiment will change the world. Just ideas, tools, documentation, and the satisfaction of sometimes, maybe, making something work.

Build iteratively

Working experiments beat the expectation of perfection. Relative anonymity brings the freedom to make mistakes.

Share what helps

Useful code, practical notes, and lessons learned are worth keeping.

Stay curious

Follow the interesting threads, even if they lead to unexpected places.
