The Problem
Online shopping has a massive return problem — people can’t tell how clothes will look on them. Built a browser extension that lets you virtually try on items from any product page using diffusion-based image generation.

What I Learned
The main challenge was latency — diffusion models are slow for real-time UX. Learned to use progressive rendering and optimistic UI patterns to keep the experience feeling responsive. Cost optimization was critical for making this viable beyond a demo.
