With all due respect to your work, somehow I never understood the "t-shirt" startup idea. We live in a world where there are many problems to tackle in health, science, government and politics, yet I've seen dozens of attempts at these t-shirt startups.

I do not mean to discredit your work, that being said.

Probably because the OP was able to create this in a weekend or less in hopes of generating some passive income. That really doesn't compare to any problem (trivial or otherwise) in the areas you mentioned.

It was explicitly stated that it was a weekend attempt at generating passive income.

OP wasn't exactly setting out to free Tibet here...

Its a $17 billion dollar market that has many ways of being served better. The OP did say that it was just a weekend project and we all have to start somewhere. Elon Musk's first company was an internet city guide.

You can pretty much use this rationale with 95% of the internet businesses out there. Why try to produce a film via kickstarter when you can go to Africa and volunteer... etc.
