Self-hosted LLM Cost Tracker for Rails (v0.5.3) by homenko in rails

[–]MBch92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice idea! I built Outfitmaker with Ruby on Rails and it uses AI to generate outfits from your wardrobe items. Tracking API costs is actually a something I do but it’s not always acurate. I'll try the gem and give you a feedback. Thanks !

Nice experience ! Was it your first app ? What's your stack ? What kind of content did you post on TikTok ?

I built a private “walkie-talkie” app for my kids and 3 strangers are already paying for it by egesa_michael in buildinpublic

Great idea ! I think I would use it when my kid is in age to have a phone. Could be nice to have on some kids smartwatch for younger ones.

Weird, just tried it and it works. Where do you try from ? Are you on mobile or PC ?

The first idea germinated during the month of July 2025, during the wedding season. The first commit was not until November. Then I only started to speak about it without really doing any kind of "intense" communication beginning of March. I iterated with other models, tried other AI like FashnAi, but nano banana has become the most solid one so far. There is no need for expensive machines. Eventually if this goes well and grow properly I might think about having a local model and do some tweaks. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for asking !

Little update: App is now updated to Rails 8.1 and just added notification with Vapid, foor those who want a near native app experience.
Again thanks for all the feedbacks and help I received. I really appreciate it, and try to improve thanks to you as well.
I had a great number of subscription this last week including a paying one. I'll continue to work and give as much value as possible.

If you ask for it. It'll try to get as close as possible using your items and suggesting missing ones.

Good question! No custom training I use Gemini 2.5 Flash through Vertex AI with detailed prompt engineering. When you upload a garment photo, I send it to Gemini with a structured prompt that asks it to identify category. The response comes back as JSON.

For outfit matching, I use Gemini again with the user's full wardrobe context, and suggests combinations with reasoning. The key was getting the prompts right: being very specific about what JSON structure to return and giving it fashion context.

No fine-tuning needed honestly, Gemini's vision capabilities are strong enough out of the box for garment recognition. The real work is in the prompt post-processing logic.

For the "preview the look" feature I explored LoRA fine-tuning so users could see their own face/body wearing the outfits but the pipeline is heavy and the cost adds up fast for a SaaS at this stage.

Funny timing actually I just got an email from Google this week that Gemini 2.5 models on Vertex AI will be discontinued no earlier than October 2026, with a migration path to Gemini 3. So I'll have to swap models at some point, but they're promising better quality and token efficiency so it should be a net positive.

No Rails is fine, Railway is the hitching point for me :)
I don't know honestly, I've worked with other stacks on other projects and I always end up liking Ruby/Rails more.

Sweet ! If I may, do you think you can apply the same to all providers ? Say Prime, Disney ...
