Some projects start with a business plan. Others start with a bug, a coffee, and an idea that just won’t go away. This one began somewhere between a Stack Overflow tab and a T-shirt doodle — a thought that maybe the world could use a little more code, and a little less corporate.
If you’ve ever smiled at a clever commit message, argued passionately about spaces vs tabs, or spent too long picking the perfect font for your terminal theme, you’re in the right place. Slash Star is a T-shirt store built for developers — for people who see code not just as work, but as creativity: a language of logic and imagination that connects us all.
Every design here starts with a spark from the developer world — the jokes, the quirks, the quiet brilliance that makes coding what it is. Those ideas become printed designs you can actually wear. Some are funny, some nostalgic, and a few probably make sense only after a long compile. But that’s the point. It’s about celebrating the craft, the community, and the mindset that turns “it works on my machine” into an everyday victory.
We’re not a faceless brand churning out merch. We’re a small, independent setup run by people who write code, break things, fix them again, and then print those ideas onto high-quality T-shirts (and a few carefully chosen extras). Quality matters here — not just in the fabric and print, but in the thought that goes into every design.
Our mission is simple: to make T-shirts developers actually want to wear (or gift) — pieces that feel good, look smart, and speak your language. From subtle syntax jokes to bold statements of geek pride, we’re coding creativity into every thread.
And we don’t just want you to buy — we want you to build with us. Got an idea for a future design, a favourite programming language, or a pun so good it should never see production code? Tell us. This is an open project, and your pull requests are always welcome.
So here’s to the developers, designers, tinkerers, and late-night bug squashers — the people who keep the web running and the ideas flowing. You’re the reason this exists. And if one of our T-shirts earns a place in your wardrobe, that’s a pretty successful release.
