ABOUT US

Gant_about
Matt_about
Iconoclast Labs was formed by Gant Laborde and Matt Garrison in New Orleans in 2012. Each member has a degree in Computer Science and a passion for technology.

  • HISTORY

    ICONOCLAST LABS ORIGIN?

    About_history

    The co-founders of Iconoclast Labs have been friends for 5+ years. Both have shared a passion to create "new" and "cool" products that don't suck.

    Abandoning the usual pitfalls of selling their time and working on dying technologies (cubefarms); Iconoclast Labs is about ideas breaking free of the traditional software dullery.

    Iconoclast literally means breaker of icons. From Iconoclast Labs are new, versitile, and enthrawling products that are meant to excite the creators as much as the customers.

  • LOCATION

    WHERE ARE WE LOCATED?

    About_location_clean

    Our offices are currently located in Gant's Dining room, which is located in the Greater New Orleans area.

    We're also known to travel to the ocassional hacker space or coffee shop for a change of scenery, until the beachfront empire is finished construction.

    Our online presence is usually in Chat on one of our service sites, here on the company website, or even interacting on one of our Product's Facebook pages.

  • TECHNOLOGY

    WHAT KIND OF PRODUCTS?

    Technology

    Being in technology for a while, we have experience in many new and old, but lately our focus has been Ruby on Rails and mobile technologies, like RubyMotion.

    As Rails developers, that means we also have extensive experience on the client side of things as well:

    • JavaScript / CoffeeScript
    • HTML 5 / CSS3 / Sass
    • jQuery / jQueryUI
    • Photoshop
    html5
  • HOBBIES

    STAYING HUMAN TOO

    #

    Matt Garrison is an active home brewer of many tasty beers, can handle himself in the kitchen, an avid reader, and dabbles in hobby electronics and DIY projects.

    Gant Laborde spends his leisure time reading as well as performing with a local comedy group. His time is heavily influenced by his penchant for Mario games and social adventures.

    Both Matt and Gant dedicate their free time to coming up with new project ideas that challenge them in new and exciting ways.

 

PORTFOLIO

Below is a wide variety of our work, ranging from contracted business sites to fun apps.

CHATOMS.com
Atomic Units of Conversation

Ever had the perfect drinks, and the perfect company in the perfect setting but just didn't have the topics to get the ball rolling? Chatoms (Chat Atoms) are small, simple, and perfect conversational sparks, to initiate any conversation.


Chatoms is a Conversation starter for you and your group of friends, an intimate evening alone, or simply a great way to pass the time in during a long car ride. We've engineered Chatoms.com to be mobile friendly, and even downloadable mobile apps have been created so it doesn't need the internet in order to work. This allows you to rest assured that you can keep the outlandish conversation rolling, in the most outlandish location. Choose from our wide variety of categories to keep the conversation where you'd like it (Normal, Fun, Philosophy, Out There, Love, Naughty, or Personal).

SecretChaperone.com
Your Cyber Godmother

Iconoclast Labs was contracted to develop the system that runs SecretChaperone's website and notifications


Secret Chaperone is the brainchild of home healthcare nurse and mom, Robin Brou Hatheway. The idea was sparked by mere necessity and concern as Robin, newly single, entered the dating scene again a world that was radically different from what it used to be! As an adult, gone were the days of curfews and a parents watchful eye, as well as Dontt wait up! mentality once expressed to old college roommates. With young children, she understood the importance and responsibility to protect herself from potential harmful situations associated with dating in the 21st century. Additionally, her home nursing career brought potential risks as Robin often found herself in unfamiliar neighborhoods and homes. Robin was looking for that peace of mind and comfort in making her whereabouts known to friends and family to ensure her safety, but on a need-to-know basis.

iOS Programming in RubyMotion
Open Source project to convert Obj-C code to RubyMotion

RubyMotion Cookbook is our project to learn RubyMotion, iOS development, and to provide a valuable community resource of code examples. We're experts in none of these things so if you have a suggestion, be gentle, it's our first time. This is a work in progress.


We'll be following along with the actual iOS5 Programming Cookbook by Vandad Navandipoor from O'Reilly, starting with chapter two, and porting over the Obj-C code examples as we progress through the book. If you have the book and want to add or correct the project, send us a pull request, we'll gladly accept the help! Whichever chapter you'd like, because as you can tell, we're not going in strict order either.

    I'd like to announce my new gem for RubyMotion, motion-rubberstamp. In short, this gem adds a few new rake tasks to your RubyMotion project that allow you to "stamp" your iOS app icon with your versioning information, git branch and git commit information

  • Apr 24

    No longer do you have to re-create your commonly defined icon to make it royalty free, and then resource mash it into place so you can change your mind and start the process all over again. Now all the great icons that were available inside FontAwesome are now available to your RubyMotion app. Let's take a look at this new RubyMotion gem!

    Soylent Green is PEOPLE! OK... so? The Mechanical Turk is people, too! Enjoy this blog post if:
    * You have no idea what the Mechanical Turk is. * You have some tedious data manipulation, augmentation, categorization etc. that you can't justify you're hard working time for, or it's just TOO DAMN MUCH DATA! * You know what the Mechanical Turk is, but you'd like to hear about a first hand experience of it. * You've read this much and come too far to stop now.

    The speed we were able to write Conversation Stoppers was great. The app is purely a novelty idea, and garners a good laugh amongst adults. The real magic is that we were able to completely finish the app in an extremely short time, by using our RubyMotion Template. This app will not see the light of day on any phone that is not Development.
