Do part of the proceeds go to the Wikimedia Foundation? I would only buy a shirt if I was also helping the foundation imho For those that haven't already, donate and support the foundation! https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/i...

@stewartjarod That's a great idea. Many people probably think the same way, so it's a win-win.

@stewartjarod We now donate 10% of our profits to the Wikimedia foundation! Again, thank you for the suggestion. Big win!

I dig it, but no XL size?!

Fun idea - small typo on the product page: "The unisex cut is confortable for men and women"

Cool idea. May I know what platform you built the store on?
Ben Sampson šŸ”„
@ram_rayavarapu ReactJS frontend, Node (Express) backend fetching from Wikimedia API, Printful for order fulfillment and dropshipping. Thanks for taking interest!

šŸ‘‹ Hey everyone! I built this online store and I'd love your feedback! šŸ˜• Problem People with specialized interests find it hard to express themselves in fashion. There are probably a lot of people that don't fit the general interests of the fashion crowd, and have been left out by most retailers. There's a lot of generalisation in this industry, but I think personalization results in higher satisfaction and happier customers. šŸ› ļø Solution Wikishirts is a simple online store where you can browse any of 5.7 million unique shirts 😲 containing extracts from articles on Wikipedia. Type in your weird obsession or interest, pick and article, and order your custom shirt wherever you are in the world! I'm no fashion guru or enthusiast, but I want what I wear to say something about me or initiate conversation. Please tell me what you think! šŸ¤—
