Fast Fashion is killing the planet.
styleis.tech (Style-is-dot-Tech) is a full-stack web app that helps users track their outfits, get insights on what they don’t actually wear, and encourages sustainable behavior by recommending local donation options.
Most of us own clothes we never wear — yet someone out there could really use them.
We built styleis. tech to close that loop: help people understand their real clothing habits and make donating easy, accessible, and data-driven.
- 👕 Document Outfits: Users can log what they wear each day.
- 🔍 Reality Check: The app analyzes usage over time and identifies underused clothes.
- 🎁 Smart Donations: Recommends local donation centers where those clothes could go.
- 📦 Donation Basket: Users can review, confirm, and prepare their donation list with a single tap.
- 🌤 Bonus: Integrates weather and location APIs for smart outfit recommendations.
Frontend:
- React.js
- Tailwind CSS
- REST API integration with Flask backend
Backend:
- Python Flask
- Firebase (Authentication + Realtime DB)
- Amazon S3 (Storage)
- External APIs: Weather API, Location API
Infrastructure:
- RESTful architecture
- Modular routes & controllers
- JSON-based communication between React and Flask
