Projects
Spawn Art
Spawn Art is a platform that aims to provide a streamlined workflow for generating, organizing, and sharing your generated images. It uses the Stable Diffusion model and allows users to run a worker on their own machine to generate images.
TECH :
- - Typescript, Node.js
- - SolidJS, Material-UI for SolidJS
- - Firebase, Stripe
- - S3 compatible image and multi-GB model storage with resumable upload and download
- - RAG using OpenAI embeddings + PostgresQL / pgvector
- - Docker based Stable Diffusion worker, to generate images
Simweaver
Simweaver is a platform for creating AI-driven role-playing games. Use it to build worlds, characters, and interactive experiences with ease. The user can run an Ollama worker on their local machine or add an API key from OpenAI or Grok to use their LLM models.
TECH :
- - Typescript, Node.js, Next.js
- - React, Shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS
- - Supabase / PostgresQL, Prisma
