# About

StickerBox — the $99 kids' AI sticker printer — is a mono thermal printer,
the same hardware as the ~$100 Brother label printer already on our kitchen
counter. The clone took an afternoon. The rest is what the product doesn't do:
maps of Dean's actual streets, trip strips with real road signs and drive
times, car kits, a calendar that prints its own stickers.

Zero screens. He shows the maps to his friends at school. And "are we there
yet?" is now a piece of paper in his hands.

## The stack

Brother QL-810W + open-source _brother_ql_ · OpenStreetMap + OSRM for
roads and drive times · Gemini image gen for the coloring-book art · ~600
lines of Python. The road signs are the real public-domain MUTCD files.
