our call
Start with Zakeke — highest vibe code, weakest moat.
Sizekick
Building a rule-based questionnaire size guide takes a weekend. Reconstructing 3D body measurements from 2D mobile camera feeds with GDPR-compliant biometric privacy controls requires specialized computer vision engineering.
you can rebuild
- Interactive PDP size guide overlay modal
- Form-based user size recommendation (height, weight, age, fit preference)
- Storefront analytics dashboard for sizing widget interaction rates
- CSV ingestion interface for brand garment measurement charts
- Dynamic fit advice callouts (e.g., 'Runs small, order one size up')
what you lose
- Smartphone camera video/photo 2D AI body scanning models
- GDPR-compliant biometric data pipeline that auto-deletes raw user images
- Cross-brand body measurement and actual garment return outcome models
- Automated garment spec parsing from pattern design files and CAD tech packs
- Integrated 3D body visualization models for end-users
real moats
- Proprietary computer vision models trained on 3D body scans and sizing outcomes
- GDPR biometric compliance framework for handling customer imagery
- Database connecting actual garment specs across brands to real human body dimensions

Zakeke
Building a simple 2D canvas preview with Cursor is easy, but Zakeke delivers cross-device WebGL rendering, mobile WebXR AR tracking, and CMYK vector print outputs. Rebuilding this requires specialized 3D graphics engineering rather than simple full-stack glue code.
you can rebuild
- Simple 2D canvas text and logo placement
- Basic 3D model viewer with rotation and zoom
- Product variant price adjustments based on selected options
- Saving customized configuration image preview to cart item attributes
- Basic color swatch material selectors
what you lose
- Native mobile WebAR visualizer without app installations
- Real-time AI camera tracking for facial and body Virtual Try-On
- Automated production-ready CMYK export files (PDF, SVG, DXF) with exact dimensions
- Pre-built integrations with major Print-on-Demand providers
- Automated CAD/GLTF 3D model compression and LOD optimization pipelines
real moats
- Cross-browser, cross-device WebGL and WebXR camera pipeline handling
- Battle-tested vector and raster engine for high-resolution print file rendering
- High switching costs from hours spent mapping UV textures per product catalog item
