Random Side Quests

Small experiments, weekend builds, and random ideas I found interesting enough to turn into code.


AI Scraper | AI-Powered Web Scraping Tool πŸ”—

2025 | Python, Streamlit, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, Groq API, Ollama

AI Scraper is a tool built to scrape, clean, and extract meaningful information from websites using natural language instructions. It uses Selenium to fetch raw HTML, cleans unnecessary elements, and allows users to ask in plain English what data they want extracted. The extraction can be powered by Groq’s cloud API for speed or a local Ollama LLaMA3 model for privacy, all wrapped in a simple Streamlit UI for quick experimentation.

sysdash | Terminal-Based System Resource Monitor πŸ”—

2025 | Rust, ratatui, sysinfo, crossterm

sysdash is a terminal-based system monitoring tool written in Rust that displays real-time CPU, memory, and disk usage in a clean text UI. It uses ratatui for rendering interactive gauges, sysinfo for system metrics, and crossterm for terminal control. The dashboard refreshes every 100ms, shows per-core CPU usage, memory consumption, disk space stats, and allows users to exit instantly with a single keypress.
