Shirt.codes: Get a T-shirt of your favorite code snippet

[MaxGabriel]

They should say that American Apparel is the manufacturer of the shirt (I only found out by clicking their google image search link from the checkout page). They're known for running a size small + (imo) they have a good reputation for quality t-shirts, so it might help with sales.

[hazelcough]

Thanks for the tip! The unisex shirt is American Apparel, and the women's is Bella Ladies' Favorite, or American Apparel depending on the color.

[javert]

I don't understand why there are these colored blocks instead of an actual code snippet.

Also, I was assuming there would be a variety of different code samples. Just CSS? Really? Dude, that's not even a programming language.

[hazelcough]

You can type in any code you want...it'll autodetect the language.

[cookrn]

I love the abstract and colorful look. It actually is really nice without being based on code! Some more code samples for people to click through could be fun to play around with too. Have you printed one for yourself yet? A photo of you wearing a shirt would be wonderful.

dojo4 [1] (Boulder, CO) built and subsequently took down a similar product called Speakteesy [2] last year. It's really hard to get the pricing reasonable, show people definitively what they're going to receive, and get a quality shirt. We did our best by generating a to-scale proof image using ImageMagick that a user would see prior to paying, but it wasn't a huge help. Lastly, the shirts.io [3] service was our fulfillment backend and, barring some light documentation in areas, was great to work with.

Good luck!

Yep, here's me wearing a shirt: http://cl.ly/image/220r1g463W00

re: shirts.io, yeah I'm using their successor, scalablepress.com. The API is much better now.

Awesome, always wanted a minimalistic striped shirt!

[rpicard]

Will the shirt have the code itself or just the silhouette of the code?

[slingerofwheat]

I agree. This is such a misleading website. I don't even know what I'll get.

[patcon]

Haha no way. I had an idea for a tshirt gem where you could pipe in text and it would order a shirt through the zazzle api. You guys should write one!

``` $ echo "curl -s http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4Tz0Z8in | sh " | tshirt $ cat myscript.rb | tshirt ```

[selmnoo]

The shirt seems to be a color shirt, no? It's pretty impressive to do a single custom shirt for $25 (or maybe it isn't? I don't know about the economics of t-shirt printing). I would love to know more about this, if someone has more to say (or link to a resource).

[hazelcough]

Yep! I used scalablepress.com to print my shirts. It's extremely to print a single custom shirt from them--I was surprised, too :).

[Rangi42]

There used to be a shirt with Tantek Çelik's box model hack (voice-family: "\"}\"";) for sale somewhere online. (I screen-printed my own copy on an old T-shirt.) This was back when IE5.5 was still in use. I wonder if this site was inspired by that shirt.

[Mark_B]

Hmmm...A "brillant" shirt, anyone?

Hey, this is super cool!

Genuinely think you would generate much more interest(and less confusion/knee-jerk anger) if you had the option of having the code printed on the shirt overlaying the blocks.

I'd definitely be interested.

[hazelcough]

Yep, this is now implemented! Thanks for the input.

[JadoJodo]

No shirts for fat guys. Shame.

[joeevans1000]

No XL?

Is this like Abercrombie and Fitch where they only want the hotties in their shirts?

[hazelcough]

There is XL if you select "Unisex." The default sizes are women's sizes.

(Just fixed it so that it shows Unisex sizes by default.)

[deevus]

What sort of code would people want on their shirts?

[bootload]

    main(k){float i,j,r,x,y=-16;while(puts(""),y++<15)for(x
    =0;x++<84;putchar(" .:-;!/>)|&IH%*#"[k&15]))for(i=k=r=0;
    j=r*r-i*i-2+x/25,i=2*r*i+y/10,j*j+i*i<11&&k++<111;r=j);}

compiled it looks like this ~ https://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/tags/perlin from Ken Perlin blog ~ http://mrl.nyu.edu/~perlin/

[hazelcough]

Code that looks cool as blocks :P.

I guess HN's 22 points in 1 hour killed in?

[elwell]

Is it that hard to push your app to elastic beanstalk?

[primitivesuave]

This would be awesome for inside jokes with equally-nerdy friends, can't wait for the opportunity to try it out!

It's got to be the safest form of birth control.

Bravo.

get a tshirt with that

goto fail;

goto fail;

...or are we past that joke now?

[dlgeek]

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

(In fact, I wore it today - someone else printed them right after the disclosure).

[benradler]

absolutely horrible. cant even tell if this thing will put code or colored blocks on my shirt, and you want $25?

[_xhok]

Why couldn't you have just written "Will my shirt have code or colored blocks?"

[slexaxton]

no ur absolutely horrible
