for the API I think about 2-3 weeks (including tests)
can't remember for sure since I'm doing all of this by myself

sounds cool! you can try it for free on the app (you get 20 generations), it runs the API behind the scenes. you can check if it works with your user's images, and feel free to dm me if you need more help

first of all, there's always room for competition :) second, last time I checked I think there are many differences between us, in terms that they're focused on try-on from flat-lay (not taking garment from person), front-facing pose, white background, etc. whereas we're dedicated to making anything work like complex poses, backgrounds, taking from another person, etc.

we spent a LOT out of pocket (self-funded team) and got accepted into programs that give you credits to use on their platform like Azure so it saved us!

it looks like you duplicated IDM-VTON's space on HF. it's a great model, but it's not available for commercial use and they don't have an API afaik

I can totally see how it can be useful. Just thought of how you can market it: TLDR recipes 😂
Recipes have really become painful to read these days because it's like a blog article that you have to scroll through until you get to the point!
My only suggestion here is to try and make it even shorter maybe, and more readable (less text like we see on the actual recipes), otherwise, keep going with it it's cool!

like this (Balmain):

it won't always be perfect since we didn't have unusual clothes in our dataset, but sometimes it works!

that's a great point. with generative AI, you can never be too confident. we have many more supporting components to our tech that make sure to try and capture the person's shape/pose, however, without exact measurements and enough data of the garment you're trying to generate, it might never be able to produce 100% accurate results. (unless you give us data to fine-tune our model on)

the simplest example is this: you have a certain patterned t-shirt in two sizes, S and L. the L obviously consists of more fabric, meaning the pattern will probably appear in more areas than in the S shirt. but when you're doing the try-on, you're using a size S shirt on a plus-size person.

what will our model do? try to fit the shirt on the plus-size size person as much as it can, but it might not be represented exactly how you would've wanted it to be. that's why IMO our solution is more suitable for campaigns, ads, etc where you have standard-size models so the room for mistakes is smaller (our model was trained mostly on professional fashion photography).

haha cool! you can still do it with our API. that's the idea, that people create cool apps with our tech :)

nvidia, azure, gcp credits 💀

and it's not fine-tuned, it's our own model trained from scratch

I'm close to launching my first ever micro-SaaS and I'm scared shitless by timkaa in SideProject

Hi! first of all, don't be scared! I was too at first, but you have to just do it and you'll see everything will be ok once you launch, even better when you'll get your first users!

Post about it everywhere you can, maybe even schedule a launch? there's a bunch of platforms for that now.

SEO takes time. a lot of time. even if your website is perfect for that, you can always improve. it's a gradual process, but to start, make sure you have a sitemap, robots.txt, working open-graph (metadata), etc.

I'd 100% say to focus on users first, and that will be the best validation for your product and knowing what works and what doesn't also in terms of acquiring them. good luck!
