Mixtiles It

Turn any photo into a Mixtiles order link. User sends a photo (or image URL) → get back a ready-to-order Mixtiles cart link.

How It Works

1. User sends/forwards a photo or image URL
2. Run the upload script to get a public URL and Mixtiles cart link
3. Send the cart link back — user taps it to customize and order

Usage

# Single photo
python3 scripts/mixtiles-cart.py <local-file-or-url> [--size SIZE]

# Multiple photos (one cart link with all photos)
python3 scripts/mixtiles-cart.py --batch <image1> <image2> ... [--size SIZE]

The script handles:

• Local files: Uploads to Cloudinary (the only host Mixtiles can display from)
• URLs: Downloads first, then uploads to Cloudinary
• Batch mode: Uploads all images and builds a single multi-photo cart URL
• Output: Prints the Mixtiles cart URL to stdout

Size Options

Default is RECTANGLE_12X16. Other known sizes from Mixtiles:

• SQUARE_8X8 — Classic square
• RECTANGLE_12X16 — Portrait rectangle (default)
• RECTANGLE_16X12 — Landscape rectangle

Environment Variables (optional)

• CLOUDINARY_CLOUD — Cloudinary cloud name (default: demo)
• CLOUDINARY_PRESET — Cloudinary unsigned upload preset (default: unsigned)
• MIXTILES_UPLOAD_URL — Override the upload API endpoint (Railway fallback)
• MIXTILES_UPLOAD_KEY — Override the upload API key (Railway fallback)

Workflow

When a user sends a photo with intent to mixtile it:

1. Identify the image file path (from media attachment) or URL
2. Run: python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/mixtiles-cart.py <path-or-url>
3. Send the resulting URL to the user with a brief message like "Here's your Mixtiles link! 🖼️ Tap to customize size, frame, and order."

If multiple photos are sent, use --batch to create a single cart link with all photos: python3 <skill-dir>/scripts/mixtiles-cart.py --batch <path1> <path2> ...
