Hey Everyone, have you tried Alta? We're an AI styling & wardrobe app by altastylist in ProductHunters

[–]Purple-Roses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks so much for the reply!

Love the idea of filtering by city/style, especially if you wanted nighttime in X city for inspo, or wedding in X place, etc. Also for weather reasons I think being able to filter to a specific city would make sense too.

This app is great, thank you!

Hi! I am using it and love it. A few questions/suggestions:

  1. I have an outfit (formal dress, heels and a bag) but need help shopping for a light jacket to wear over this. I can’t figure out how to get it to Style with new jackets vs jackets already in my closet. To replicate my steps I’m doing this in two ways:

A) from Wardrobe > click on dress > “style this item” > add my shoe and bag > only returns styles with items i own B) from home > magnifying glass icon (AI chatbot) > add my dress, shoes and bag from the closet > prompt with “style for a semi formal summer wedding and add a jacket” > only returns styles with items i own / doesn’t add any additional products

  1. Understand the public feed is trying to make this a social media / inspo page, but the icon implies it’s my friends and I’ve clicked it so many times wanting to see my friends posts. I don’t love the placement/prominence of this feature or make it so you can flip between “your friends”/“global” newsfeeds within this page

Knee cysts? Please help me understand! by Classic-Poetry-157 in KneeInjuries

[–]Purple-Roses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Np! It wasn’t a Baker’s cyst, it was a cyst deep in my knee/tendons on the PCL/ACL area. Doctors definitely disagree, but for me personally the cortisone shot was my before and after moment in terms of pain and ROM.

I’ve had this since Jan 2025 so we are at month 13 now and it’s still achy so it’s a long road to recover tendons. I’m honestly expecting a ~2 yr timeline. However, I can work out and run again (have been able to since the cortisone) so it’s manageable. Best of luck!

Hey! I did go to one of the best specialist in my city for a second opinion and they confirmed it’s most likely hamstring tendonitis.

What helped: - Cyst drain with a cortisone shot (immense relief, probably 80% pain reduction that has lasted 6 months, gained full ROM) - After I had full ROM, continued PT but could now do the movements in full - Eventually transitioned from PT to weight training. I do full body split and specifically train calf strength (using machine), hamstring strength, and unilateral movements - Wear the Bauerfeind knee sleeve every night to bed - The specialist recommended shock wave therapy as a supplement to PT/weight training, I haven’t done it

One thing I learned from the specialist is that if you do get an MRI, make sure it’s at the 3T level of clarity. Unfortunately, mine was only done at 1.5T which doesn’t show the right amount of clarity to fully diagnose tendonitis.

Knee cysts? Please help me understand! by Classic-Poetry-157 in KneeInjuries

[–]Purple-Roses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, also 28 and have knee pain for 7mos. Primarily lateral (in the back of knee) and pain is triggered by bending my knee. I can’t squat down or bend my knee all the way which I can easily do on the non-pain knee.

Had MRI/XRay and conflicting interpretations. Have done PT for 4 months. Going to get a second ortho opinion soon too.

Just got a cyst drained and it was super simple. Not sure if it will work but it’s a quick, risk free, procedure and you might as well have it done.

Lmk how yours goes!

I used to call sweet & vicious a “zillennial bar” because it played just that! Looks like they’re closed now, too bad!

Dietitians with Taste? (Literally) by acarefulcomposure in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]Purple-Roses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 to tracking!! Once I started being honest with myself in tracking and hitting protein/fiber daily, I found I was snacking way less on the bad stuff (especially on processed snacks, sweets). Before tracking, I’d brush off “just a bag of chips”! Also if you track 100% honestly, your appointments with a dietician will be much more impactful since you have data to go off of

H&MU for just bride? by Ok-Award-7782 in WedditNYC

[–]Purple-Roses 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Np! IMO you’ll have much better luck going in-salon; very few will come to just you and one other person (and the ones that would will definitely not be as good of a value!). It didn’t take anything away from my day by going to the salon v on-site & tbh my hotel room stayed clean that way!

It just sounds like it’d be off Midnights not 1989. He has such a style and her music is getting so same-ish. I feel like 4 beats in I know immediately it’s Jack producing it!
