Technology

TanStack Start / React / Supabase / Edge Functions / PayPal / Gemini

Stage

Working product experiment; not presented as a proven retail business.

01 / Initial challenge

Most trend-led merchandise arrives after the moment has passed. The concept asked whether a small autonomous system could compress research, creative direction, production and retail into one visible cycle.

02 / Opportunity

Make the pipeline itself part of the product: one trend, one coordinated drop and a clear countdown until it disappears.

03 / Strategy

Use specialised stages for discovery, copy and design, with a consistent brand system and a controlled four-item output rather than an endless catalogue.

04 / Product experience

The storefront carries one drop at a time. Visitors see the source signal, the coordinated products and the clock governing the next release.

05 / Technical approach

A TanStack and React storefront is backed by Supabase, Edge Functions and PayPal. The pipeline combines trend sources, deterministic product composition and Gemini-assisted design generation.
