But are the shirts any good? No mention of material or examples of how one might look.

They do offer various specific brands on the quote page. Looks like you can get American Apparel which is what Threadless and many other use.

I see a lot of reference to Gildan shirts in their APIs. Might as well be dyed burlap.

Love this. Any plans for other print items too like business cards, letterheads, etc?

An API that serves not just T-shirt printing, but other printing as well will win a lot of business IMHO.

I wish this service was around 5 years ago when I was going through the hell of designing a Silverlight interface for tshirt logo / text placement. The customer was such an a I would have pull my app, launched it myself with this service as the fulfillment end. Nice work guys, best of luck with it.

Design note: that slider is awkward. There's no indication that it's moving until it hits a discrete point.

Interesting- we are starting to see more and more APIs that interface with real physical objects. Is this the new advent of APIs? Am i going to be able to purchase a pizza delivery whilst printing a shirt and having my car unlock for the car wash guy all from my phone as I'm heading home. What other real life APIs are there available atm?

Carvoyant [1] makes a small device that plugs into your car's OBD2 port, and exposes the data through an API. It's somewhat similar to Automatic [2], but available now and has an API. I've got one in my car, but haven't had a chance to play around with the API yet.
