Why does it take 20 seconds to composite a string onto a shirt? Are you using generative AI for something that can be done in milliseconds with traditional techniques?

Btw, this has nothing to do with the "tee" shell command.

I've tried to type in non-ASCII (Ukrainian) and preview shows it correctly. Does it guarantee it would print it properly?

I cannot click on "Preview and price" - I'm in a country you're currently not shipping to so it maybe a feature more than a bug.

What print on demand supplier are you using? I'm building a merch builder website for startups and most PODs (Gelato, Printify, Printful) all have their own issues.

Banner says "custom tees, delivered at cost" but then the preview page shows a price that is double what I get going to their drop shipper directly (printful). No detailed product info on shirt type or quality. No company info. Hard pass.

i built teebot.dev because every time i wanted to put text on a shirt, i got lost in some enshitified print companies design flow. i just wanted to get words on a shirt.

So i made teebot.dev. type your text and ship it. that's it.

here's the CLI:

npx teebot "wtf?"
