Hi Matt

If I could offer a thought experiment here.

You want to learn something; you go to a library and read up on the subject,
pick one or two ideas you find in the books and start from there.

Consider the membership here to be a library.

You may have a cool idea that everyone here will dump on ---BUT--- that is
because they might have tried the same idea or something similar themselves
and it failed spectacularly. Or they have had more years of practical
experience than you and can see things that you simply do not.

There is a difference between spending time playing with stuff and learning
things and tossing your hard earned cash and your time down a useless
rat-hole...
