🍄 Mycopunk Swag

Decentralized merchandise for the mycelial revolution.

A CLI-driven workflow for designing, managing, and distributing mycopunk merchandise (stickers, shirts, patches, zines) with automated print-on-demand fulfillment.

Philosophy

Like mycelium networks that share resources without central control, this project embodies:

• Open source designs - Fork, remix, distribute
• Decentralized production - POD means no inventory, no warehouses
• Anarchist tech - Self-hosted, privacy-respecting, no platform lock-in
• Community-driven - Contribute designs, suggest products, share the spores

Quick Start

# Install CLI
cd cli && pip install -e .

# Create a new design
mycopunk design new stickers/my-design --template=sticker-3x3

# Export to print-ready files
mycopunk design export stickers/my-design

# Validate against POD requirements
mycopunk design validate stickers/my-design

# Create product on POD service
mycopunk product create stickers/my-design --provider=prodigi

Design Workflow

1. Create - Design in Inkscape/GIMP, save as SVG
2. Configure - Add metadata.yaml with product mappings
3. Export - Generate print-ready PNGs at required DPIs
4. Validate - Check against POD service requirements
5. Push - Upload to Printful/Prodigi
6. Mockup - Generate product mockups for shop
