Paste a clothing URL; a hardened serverless function reads the page, extracts the fabric facts, and returns an honest verdict, quality band, does it wrinkle, what was found, what is missing, and a confidence level. If the fabric weight is not on the page, the answer is “not informed”, the product refuses to guess, and that refusal is the product.
Around that principle: a cinematic WebGL hero with a hand-written dye-in-fabric shader that fully yields to reduced-motion, SSRF-guarded fetching, per-IP rate limiting, and copy in four languages written as cultural adaptations.
What it proves
- A product principle carried consistently from copy to parser to UI to security posture
- Front-end craft and performance discipline in the same component
- Threat-modeling a scraper like production infrastructure
