Show HN: I made shopping clothes online easier

This is neat!

A more generic solution to research-tabsplosion is https://browser.horse, where EVERY link clicked opens in a new tab, but your tabs are stored as a tree.

Hey, I'm Andrew.

I'm a pretty big online shopper and wanted to solve the cycle of opening new tabs so I built this solution.

It works as an infinite canvas similar to Figma so you can add as many items as you want. The items are drag and drop so you can better see what clothing goes well with others. There is also a Chrome extension to make shopping even easier for people who don't feel like manually going back to Curate to add items.

Firefox used to have a feature called Panorama built in (if I recall correctly), where you could arrange your tabs into groups and see thumbnails of all your tabs. It would probably answer this sort of purpose quite nicely. Other tab management systems like vertical tabs and tab trees (I use Tree Style Tab) are probably very helpful too.

Just at a very quick glance, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/panorama-tab-... looks like the most popular replacement for that old Firefox feature.

(I don’t mean that it’s an exact replacement, but it’s likely to be more convenient for single-session usage since it’s a tab management solution rather than an extra tool to use.)

Honestly... To makes clothes and shoes remote shopping easier I'd like the option to get a 3D model of them I can load in a local software to check if it fit my body well, without both sending my biometrical data to someone else and for the shopper the need of such hyper-big computing power to check 3D models for every customer.

If you think that for a moment is feasible, creating a 3D scan of our body might not be cheap so far but also not so expensive, only a bit long eventually, the rest is very simple since all clothes producers do have models of what they produce and sharing just the modeled surface with minimum/maximum is not a commercial issue.

My first impression was that perhaps the technical problem of having too many tabs is a narrow scoping of a wider problem.

My feeling is that your target audience must have developed multiple strategies or are ignoring the tab issue. However, the core annoyance of too many things to follow and compare is still there.

Perhaps you could experiment with wider value propositions than "just" tabs?

Looks great nonetheless!

Are you monetizing purely on the cost of the pro plan, or are you planning on selling data or leveraging affiliate programs ? I make no judgement on those strategies.
