Personal Projects Lab

A workspace for experimenting, prototyping, and incubating new ideas. Projects start here as proof-of-concepts and graduate to their own repositories once they mature.

Philosophy

This repository serves as a creative sandbox where:

• New ideas are born - Quick experiments and POCs live here
• Concepts are validated - Test feasibility before committing to full projects
• Projects mature - Develop until they're ready to stand alone
• Graduation happens - Successful projects move to dedicated repos

Workflow

Starting a New Project

1. Create a new directory in projects/
2. Build your POC with minimal structure
3. Focus on validating the core concept
4. Keep it simple and iterate quickly

Graduating a Project

When a project is ready for its own repository:

1. Create a new dedicated Git repository
2. Move the project code to the new repo
3. Add a link in the graduated/ section below
4. Clean up or remove from this repo

Graduated Projects

Projects that have evolved into their own repositories:

• bengaluru-restoration-project - Currently being set up as independent repo

Guidelines

• Keep experiments lightweight and focused
• Don't over-engineer early POCs
• Graduate projects when they have clear direction
• Archive or delete failed experiments
• Document learnings in project READMEs

Current Experiments

Check the projects/ directory for active work.

This is a living workspace. Ideas come and go. The best ones graduate.
