I've always wanted a modern running outfit app that provided gear recs from visionary running brands. Prior to this, DressMyRun was my go-to but I quickly found myself wanting a mobile-first experience that I can easily save as a PWA and with intuitive features around location, sharing outfit recs as images, "best running window" details etc.
Perfect for runners of all levels, in any condition around the world.

@isaaccyn Do you use any AI or machine learning to tailor recommendations, and if so, what data does it rely on?
@kimberly_ross no AI/ML yet. it's just a set of heuristics because the layering logic is fairly consistent across different conditions. the only thing is to make sure that the logic doesn't prematurely suggest warm-weather outfits for cold weathers (this is done by introducing a band instead of linear scoring)

Congrats with the launch! Do you see this becoming more of a curated ‘shopping assistant’ or more of a performance layering guide (or both)?
@vlisitskii definitely see this becoming both! when i first started running, it was extremely painful having to figure out what to wear for what conditions, shoes to buy etc.
so im considering a new section for recs on shoes and gadgets with some basic chat interface. even nutrition!

I'm just about to go out for my run in -2°C, this came in handy. Cool idea.
@matt_clarke5 appreciate it! did you end up running with the layering recs you saw in the app?
feel free to share feedback directly with me on x
Congrats on the launch!
@resetmerlin thank you!
