I’ve been working on a small tool called ShowcaseHQ that solves a problem I kept seeing when talking to indie fashion brands: creating line sheets is surprisingly painful.
Most small brands either:
• hack something together in Canva/Figma,
• export messy PDFs,
• or skip line sheets entirely because it takes too long.
I built a lightweight generator that lets you import products (or pull them directly from Shopify), choose a layout, and instantly generate a clean line sheet you can send to buyers. No design work needed.
I rebuilt the UI this week after user feedback - simpler navigation, less clutter, and a much faster flow.
What I’d really love from HN:
• feedback on whether the problem is actually meaningful,
• whether the onboarding feels smooth,
• and anything that seems confusing or poorly executed.
Happy to answer any questions about the stack, decisions, mistakes, etc.

How does this compare to a normal Shopify line sheet? Curious what motivated you to build it

Shopify doesn’t actually provide a real line sheet, most brands end up exporting CSVs or hacking together PDFs in Canva or Google Sheets. It works, but it’s slow and hard to keep updated.
I built ShowcaseHQ because I kept seeing brands remake the same spreadsheet over and over every season. Mine pulls the product data directly from Shopify and formats it automatically, so you don’t have to redesign or re-export anything each time your inventory or pricing changes.

Happy to answer questions about how Shopify sync works or why line sheets are painful for brands!
