Hey r/SideProject,

For the past few months I've been building **Bento**, a platform for creative challenges where the whole point is that everything is made by actual humans.

The reason I started it: in 2025 it's gotten really hard to tell real creative work from AI-generated stuff. As a developer who also comes from a design background, I kept seeing genuine creatives get drowned out by content generated in two seconds. So I wanted to build a space where the talent has to be *proven*, not just claimed.

How it works: you join or create challenges, submit your work, the community votes, and winners get rewarded. There's a multi-layer AI-detection system to keep submissions human, and a Figma plugin so designers can submit straight from their workflow.

It's not live yet; I'm in waitlist phase and building out the last pieces. I also made a short cinematic trailer for it, which I actually coded in React (Remotion + Three.js) instead of editing in a video tool, because that felt more like me.

I'd genuinely love feedback on the concept: does the "human-verified creative challenges" angle resonate, or does the AI-detection part feel gimmicky? Anything that feels off, tell me; I'd rather hear it now than after launch.

Happy to share the trailer and waitlist link in the comments if people are curious.

Hey everyone 👋

I'm a developer and designer based in Paris, and I built NØIR HAUS — a scroll-driven 3D runway experience that stages CLO3D garments the way a real fashion show would: camera orbits, fabrication detail pins, and a finale with all four looks on a T-bar.

The AW26 season features four pieces from CLO-SET Connect portfolios:

• Héritage — silk brocade, 24-karat gold threads, cochineal red lace (KCISA)
• Dentelle — burgundy velvet, filigree lace (AG)
• Givre — raw ecru cotton canvas, raw denim twill (kapsamun.designer)
• Clown — translucent lace, strict tailored cut, metal finishes (CLO_KET)

Every creator is credited on-screen during their look transition and in the finale, with a direct link to their CLO-SET portfolio. No source files were modified beyond PBR material fixups for Three.js rendering (transmission, hair roughness).

Submissions are open for next season. If you want your work featured, send:

• A GLB (Meshopt-compressed ideally), a raw CLO3D project, or a portfolio link
• The avatar wearing the garment
• A pose for the mannequin (no need for animations, walk cycles, or rigging — just the static pose you want)
• Optionally, a note about the piece, its story, the fabric choices

Send everything to coulibaly.tene00@gmail.com — you pick the narrative, I handle the staging and animation.

Would love to hear what you think, and whether this kind of format could be useful for the community.

Just to be clear — this is a passion project, nothing commercial or serious. Just me having fun combining web dev and fashion in my free time. If it can give some visibility to talented creators along the way, even better 🤷‍♀️
