$ teebot.dev – from terminal to tee in 6 seconds (teebot.dev)

i built teebot.dev because every time i wanted to put text on a shirt, i got lost in some enshitified print companies design flow. i just wanted to get words on a shirt.

So i made teebot.dev. type your text and ship it. that's it.

here's the CLI:

npx teebot "wtf?"

Btw, this has nothing to do with the "tee" shell command.

What print on demand supplier are you using? I'm building a merch builder website for startups and most PODs (Gelato, Printify, Printful) all have their own issues.

Banner says "custom tees, delivered at cost" but then the preview page shows a price that is double what I get going to their drop shipper directly (printful). No detailed product info on shirt type or quality. No company info. Hard pass.

I cannot click on "Preview and price" - I'm in a country you're currently not shipping to so it maybe a feature more than a bug.

Why does it take 20 seconds to composite a string onto a shirt? Are you using generative AI for something that can be done in milliseconds with traditional techniques?

I've tried to type in non-ASCII (Ukrainian) and preview shows it correctly. Does it guarantee it would print it properly?
