How I turned my biggest pain into a successful startup and today I launched it on Product Hunt!

Hello Everyone!

🤔I am far from being a shopaholic, but recently I’ve realized that I spend too many hours on online shopping.

Considering the constant increase of prices, you need to be a “pro” in shopping to buy a nice outfit of good quality without spending a fortune. Even in the case of searching for ordinary casual clothes, it is necessary to keep in mind quality, brand, the right size and color, and of course a good price. So you have to browse from site to site, apply the same filters everywhere, scroll through a lot of duplicative items, compare different tabs, and finally identify that chosen item could not be delivered to your country… Do you recognize this?
I never thought about how much time I spent shopping until last year: I was looking for new winter shoes and unexpectedly found myself late at night browsing the fifth website, on page 6 in the discount section. We all value our time, thus the prospect of regularly spending time on shopping was not encouraging. At that moment I thought, that maybe the clothes market needs a new product, which will change the process of online shopping?

✨From that moment started the most interesting journey in my life, which has been going on for 6 months so far!

🚀 I spent 6 months to build a product that helps to buy branded clothes cheaply & save time. Today I am excited (and very nervous, to be honest :) to announce the official launch of Styletyx in PRODUCT HUNT with all of you! 🚀

    Great way to make a product is to turn your pain points into the product, thanks for sharing.

    That's how it started with Evoke. My co-founder had to run these AIs at work on his own computer, and it took forever to load the results. So we decided, why not speed up the process by making this a cloud solution?

    That is a great idea! You're right, sometimes it's so annoying to spend hours searching for necessary item. It happens that I give up and go to an actual shop and buy offline. And most often it ends up to be more expensive. I'm happy when my friends gave me some recommendations. Like the last time I was searching for an outfit for my daughters prom, a friend of mine recommended me to visit Princessly online shop. The recommendation indeed saved my time and money. So your idea is brilliant as well! Congrads!

    Fantastic Di!
    Can I please ask if you have a background in coding or did you outsource this? The website functions very well.
    Your business reminds me massively of an idea I had many years ago (but not clothes) but found it was so expensive to get coded.
    Great work :)

    Congrats, Its a good idea, good luck, I have couple of questions:
    1- Do you have integrations with these brands, or you just scrap their websites?
    2- How are you going to monetize it?

    1. 1

      Hi, thank you so much!

      1. It depends on the website and the brand
      2. We take a commission on each sale
