🚀 Excited to launch TinyFoots on Peerlist!

Most custom apparel platforms treat customers like professional graphic designers — throwing them into complicated canvas editors with layers, bleeds, DPIs, and transparent PNG requirements.

For a parent or grandparent trying to make a 1st birthday t-shirt on their phone in 2 minutes, that's an immediate drop-off.

We built TinyFoots to turn the process upside down:

✨ Upload a photo or pick a theme ➔ Instant print-ready photorealistic apparel.

🛠️ Under the hood:

• Rails 8 + Hotwire + Tailwind CSS

• Zero-Redis architecture using Solid Queue, Solid Cache & Solid Cable

• PostgreSQL + pgvector for semantic prompt & design discovery

• Custom warmed Python daemon (ONNX + C++ OpenCV) for sub-second kid portrait segmentation

• Contrast-adaptive rendering for light & dark garments

• Deployed with Kamal on bare compute with Puma & Thruster

Check it out and let me know your thoughts on the UX and architecture! 👇
