I pivoted my anti-gatekeeping fashion app based on Reddit's feedback. I scrapped the social network and built a personal utility tool instead. Thoughts?

Hey everyone,

A little while ago, I posted my MVP for MyFit: an app designed to stop influencers from gatekeeping clothes by forcing them to link their outfits.

The feedback I got here was really helpful, so, I pivoted to a purely personal utility tool

Here is the new concept:

The Core Idea: An app that intercepts your social media inspiration and helps you recreate the exact outfit by shopping your own closet first, and finding the rest new or secondhand.

How it works:

The Setup: Instead of spending hours photographing your clothes on the floor, the app sends you a daily notification. You just snap a quick mirror selfie of what you're wearing that day. The app detects the individual pieces and adds them to your Digital Closet. Over a few weeks, your digital wardrobe builds itself naturally.

You see an outfit you love on TikTok or Instagram. You screenshot it and share it directly to the app.

The app scans the photo and cross-references it with your personal "Digital Closet." It tells you: "You can recreate this right now because you already own a similar black leather jacket and boots."

For the pieces you are missing (like the skirt in the photo), the app runs a visual search across the internet. You have full control over the filters: you can choose to buy the item Brand New from retail stores, or search for sustainable/cheaper options across Secondhand marketplaces like eBay, Depop, or Poshmark.

My questions for you:

  1. Does this actually solve the frustration of finding clothes you see online (or is this problem just in my head)?

  2. Is snapping a daily outfit picture a fun/easy enough way to build a digital closet, or would you still find it annoying?

  3. Would you actually use the toggle to search for secondhand/thrifted alternatives, or do you prefer buying new?
