StyleMeApp

StyleMeApp is a digital wardrobe in the phone that allows users to create outfit combinations using existing clothes, share them with their friends and get ideas on how to mix and match items to create great outfits.

The application consists of camera mode, AI background deletion, wardrobe, calendar with outfits panning, wardrobe analysis, and profile directories. The application helps users to see the impact of their consumption on the environment.

The Challenge

• Image processing and automatic background deletion: Implementing the logic for automatic background deletion in images required accurate and efficient image processing algorithms to accurately identify and remove the background while preserving the foreground object (clothes) without any artifacts or distortions. It also required  finding a solution that met the criteria of high accuracy and performance.
• Integrating with external APIs and services: The app consists of registration and login functionality via Facebook, Google and Apple, as well as using Sendgrid for password recovery. Integrating with external APIs and services, such as social media platforms and email services, required understanding and adhering to their API documentation, handling authentication and authorization, and handling errors and exceptions.
• User-friendly iOS and Android interfaces: Designing and implementing user-friendly interfaces for both iOS and Android platforms required understanding the platform-specific design guidelines, accommodating for different screen sizes, resolutions, and aspect ratios, and ensuring consistent and smooth user experiences across different devices and platforms.
• Performance and scalability: The app has the architecture for future AI features and high loading performance. Ensuring that the app is optimized for performance, scalability, and adaptability required designing efficient algorithms, optimizing database queries, handling large amounts of data, and planning for future feature integrations and updates.
• Privacy and security: The app deals with sensitive user information, such as registration data, images of clothes, and social media integrations. Ensuring the privacy and security of user data required implementing proper authentication and authorization mechanisms, encrypting sensitive data, protecting against potential security vulnerabilities, and complying with relevant data privacy regulations.
• Testing and debugging: Ensuring the quality and stability of the app through thorough testing and debugging required testing various scenarios, edge cases, and user interactions to identify and fix potential issues and bugs.
