Late on this...but what are you using to block googletagmanager?
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
That's a bit advanced for the stage it is at now, but it is on our roadmap. We realize that skin tone and hair color play a big role with the colors of clothes, and plan to integrate it down the road.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Thanks!

We're open to discussing it. Do you have an email we can contact you at?

rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Keep an eye out for v2 in about a month ;)
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
haha, didn't realize there were so many qualified ones here. It definitely requires some tweaks, glad you enjoy it.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Had to start somewhere, we'll branch out when the time comes, thanks for the suggestions though.

Accessories are in the works, don't worry, we haven't forgotten about them.

Yes, cargo pants/shorts are very functional pieces, but they can also be worn in a casual settings as well. Some pants come with slimmer streamlined pockets that aren't necessarily meant to hold large items.

It'll be more relevant if you add items you already own to the closet and generate outfits using those. Fashion is always somewhat bias, generating without having things in your closet will give you a ton of options that might fall outside your realm of acceptable fashion.(But yes, there are a few bugs scurrying around that need squashing)

Thanks! It's definitely been a big learning curve for that.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Definitely alot of tweaking ahead of us. We're working on a layering function that should complement the outfits better for the weather.

It becomes more useful when you add items to the closet. The general generator, although curated, does throw some out of box ideas.

rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Absolutely! I'll take any help.

Send me an email info at twelve70 dot com.

Thanks!

Having real world examples is on our roadmap. We understand that people want to see more relatable images, but keeping it analog to begin with simplifies the process.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Thank you! It's still has alot of room for improvement. And we've gotten alot of great feedback from r/mfa which we have been implementing since our first post there.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Good catch, I've been using it as PWA for so long, I miss things little things like this in the browser experience. Pushed out a fix so that should be sorted now.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
- Thanks for catching that. It was copied for the most part, and I must've missed that section.

- We are connected with one retailer and working to connect with more. Some of the items in the outfits have a shopping bag icon which indicated that there are items available to shop.

rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
I do have to admit, some of the outfits could be a bit more fashion forward with the way the algorithm is setup right now. But if you were to add items to your closet and generate outfits, you would get results more towards your taste. Using it without a closet and limited preference settings acts more of an idea bank.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
You can set your weather if you click the gear icon on the top right. If you set it to 'use current' it will update the weather every time you're on the site. We're working on the layering aspect which will have flannels and cardigans as outerwear layers.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
....that shouldn't be happening.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Fashion is always going to have its bias'. The algorithm does need some tweaking. But once you have your closet filled with the items you own, it will be more useful to you.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Oh man, that's alot of hardcoded rules to follow. They seem to make sense.

Would it help if we suggested capsule closets to guide you? For example closet#1 has a set number of items for each category which you can just click and buy in your size and have added to the site closet. Then you can go and generate outfits from everything you own...?

rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
give it another shot. The resources were too low for the amount of traffic.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Would love to chat! Can you We've been looking at cladwell too, their app is cool, but we noticed that its catered more towards women and we've had user's mention this as well.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Yep, you can add items you own in the closet, then you can generate outfits with only those items.

Re: measurements...that's on our roadmap.

That can definitely be implemented without much effort.

rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
It was getting the hug of death that I didn't expect. I upped the resources now so it should be much faster.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
I just switched over from the 'shell account' for the closet, to what it is now. Just testing the waters, but thanks for the advice. I'll look at the stats and see which works better.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
It's getting the hug of death...I'm upping the resources
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
You can set your weather and it will provide more fitting outfits. If you don't set it, the outfits that generate are based on random weather conditions.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Definitely an oversight. I'll fix it right away. My apologies.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Yes, we did.
rubanraj··on Show HN: Twelve70 - Men's outfit generator and closet management
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it.
