Making Apps with AI-tools
Closet inventory app built with Cursor
Try my app here: https://closet-brown.vercel.app
I've always loved fashion and craft. But I know how unsustainable fast fashion industry can be for our planet. I know I have clothes full of closet. I don't need to buy more clothes; I just need to know what I own and inspiration for how to style an outfit.
That idea led me to start this side project.
My rough idea
I had a rough vision of how the app could work, and used Cursor to build it. It was really exciting to see how fast it moved from idea to a functional prototype in such a short amount of time. I was blown away!
Run npm on terminal to make incremental changes
Along the way, I had to make a few key decisions:
-
Should this be mobile-first, web-based, or both?
-
Where should user data live? Using third-party storage introduces tradeoffs like cost and authentication complexity
There’s still a lot to improve:
-
Digitizing the closet — Taking photos and uploading each item is still a tedious process
-
Connecting to inspiration — Outfits and ideas are scattered across platforms (Pinterest, phone screenshots, desktop files, saved posts, etc.) and bringing them together is still a challenge
This has been a fun little project so far, and I’m excited to keep iterating on it over the next few weeks.
If you’re curious, give it a try and let me know what you think:
