🔥 Roast my idea: drop your ideas and get brutally honest feedback 🔥

by

It's simple. Drop your next big idea and get some brutally honest but hopefully valuable feedback. The rules are:

  • Drop your idea, you don't have to go super in depth but give a sentence or two about what it is and does.

  • Get roasted, duh

  • Roast someone else's.

That way we create a cycle of feedback

A local city app with all possible food options existed, where users type an ingredient, and it shows dishes that contain it. Like sometimes I really want to eat some fried sweet potato in Kyiv and I make a whole research to find it :)

Tijs Teulings

@angelinashv no way to get the data in a reliable way

steve beyatte

@angelinashv  @_tijs If you can get the data it'd be cool

Angelina Shevchuk
@_tijs we could create an interest for restaurant owners to put the fresh data, and feature their dishes before other. And for users it’ll work as freemium: when using for free you get only a few places, and for paid - all of them. The more I think of it, the hungrier I get😬
Tijs Teulings

@angelinashv you’ll have a classic critical mass problem though. How will you get business to signup without users and vice versa

Titouan De Dain

@angelinashv Definitely not easy to start with as @_tijs said, but that would be quite fun if you could get the data in any way. But you'd need a lot of users to make it relevant for both restaurants and consumers..

Aditya Soni

@angelinashv  Nice Idea, just might be difficult to source good data for building a nice recommendation system.

Nayan Goenka

@angelinashv Your servers would die if you type "Salt" or "Water"

@pradomaker This is really good. Unique and really needed.

@pradomaker on waitlist

Aaron O'Leary

@pradomaker Love this actually

Vincent Bezares

@pradomaker who are the first customers?

Aaron O'Leary

I'll start: A Tiktok style app that lets people vertically scroll through different property tours and allow users to directly contact the agent selling the listing.

Rahul Mishra

@aaronoleary There are many platform where you can see property pictures and details, contact agent, what's new ?

Graeme

@aaronoleary it would be good for the real estate agencies I think - you can sign up the agencies so it can be very curated, or it might get full of scammers. Then it can be like a property search tool but a lot cooler and engaging

Aaron O'Leary

@graeme_fulton scammers is a big concern. The big goal really is just to make property search more engaging and more of a novelty. One issue though is APIs, real estate industry is so antiquated in how the handle them

Graeme

@aaronoleary what do you need APIs for? Actually I thought property sites might have RSS feeds of recent listings, but just tried searching for their feeds, and they seem to be non-existent too..that's really odd, I think you're right about antiquated

steve beyatte

@aaronoleary Reelty?

Aaron O'Leary

@steveb good name lmao

Talshyn Nova

@aaronoleary vertical swiping encourages skim-reading. Key details like square footage or year built get ignored in favor of flashy visuals 👀

MubashirullahD

@aaronoleary "We use what we find in search to refine our preferences." I like what you're building. Maybe swiping right gives more pictures from the same property.

Divij Goyal

An AI messaging app where people can talk in groups and use AI which will read your messages and replied in the group. Can be used to create storyline’s, do group discussions, brainstorming sessions, couple therapy and more more.

steve beyatte

@divijgoyal If AI is doing the writing, is this productive for therapy, brainstorming, etc?

Divij Goyal

@steveb  its not AI is writing. Imagine a group chat where AI agent is also a group member. So this group chat be used by a group of people for multiple use cases.

Gin Tse

@divijgoyal That's a great thought! People often talk a lot in group chats, but many decisions or ideas are often forgotten or left unfinished.

Divij Goyal

@gin_6078 I guess so. Launching soon :)

Bismayy Mohapatra

How about "live AI assistance during actual job interviews?"
Most candidates prepare well, but freeze at the right moment to recollect and structure their answers confidently. This AI assistant reads the CV and the job requirements and generates talking points/ notes in less than 2 seconds.

Open to feedback.

Gin Tse

@bismayy_mohapatra Is the target audience the interviewer or the candidate?

Bismayy Mohapatra

@gin_6078 It's for the candidate only - students/ professionals/ freelancers.
For the interviewer, it will be a different product.

Bingbing Yan

@bismayy_mohapatra This will make the opposite side come out with an anti-AI AI that summarizes the real capabilities behind the interviewee's package. lol

Nayan Goenka

@bismayy_mohapatra Isn't that cheating?

Bismayy Mohapatra

@nayan_goenka1 I don't disagree, but I am sure that the interviewing process needs an overhaul, considering access to ChatGPT and similar tools in the market. I believe we should be adopting open web and open books interviews, where we test how the candidate can extract information and build their narrative in a quick span. And obviously, the smarter interviewers will stop asking surface-level questions and dive deeper to evaluate. What are your thoughts?

Gin Tse

An app designed to guide new-beginner authors, using AI to help organize world-building, timelines, and outlines.

Rudi Bokowski

@gin_6078 will it offer customizable templates?

Michael Bis

@gin_6078 Is this specific to a genre? I would be interested in Non-fiction and Autobiography

Chris Haynes

An app to help builders/founders work out their potential cash flow before they start a new business, assessing the financial feasibility of their idea? Currently in progress at https://flowforecast.app

Chris Haynes

Could do with some of the features @pradomaker mentions above!

Filipe Prado

@lamplightdev we can do something together, like a partnership or something like that, i think the both apps could improve each other.

Chris Haynes

@pradomaker Great idea - just joined your wait list

steve beyatte

@lamplightdev Looks great!

Rudi Bokowski

@lamplightdev could save a lot of headaches down the line 🙌

Olivia Bennet

Great idea. Here’s mine:

A browser plugin that takes notes and creates summaries from meetings, emails, and docs, all in one place.

Happy to hear what’s wrong with it and I’ll roast one in return.

kaleb cadenhead

@olivia_bennet I like the idea! However, don't a bunch of these already exist and have issues with reliability and "hallucinations"? How do you plan on overcoming that?

Raja J Kumar

An AI-powered tool that converts basic product images into a full product ontology—auto-generating detailed descriptions, enhanced visuals, and optimized listings for platforms like Google Shopping, Amazon, and Shopify—streamlining eCommerce content creation from scratch.

Nick Moure

@raja_j_kumar This sounds amazing! Do you have an alpha or beta version available for testing?

Raja J Kumar

@nick_moure Thanks for your kind words. I’ve compiled the necessary literature and detailed functional requirements and all the solution needs—including rationale and edge scenarios—for building such an AI-driven content generation ecosystem. Beyond just automating current workflows, the goal is to enable capabilities that go further than today’s tooling allows, especially in the areas of product ontology enrichment, image-to-attribute mapping, and omnichannel optimization.

Happy to discuss further if you're interested in collaboration.

Dropping this idea for roast: A lightweight security scanner for Vibe Coders, Indie Makers who ship MVPs half-awake and only realize later we exposed half the internet. Stuff it catches: Exposed API keys, Misconfigured CORS, Missing CSP, CSRF, or secure headers, Public .env, .git, or test endpoints, JWTs with no expiry, Dumb stuff like buttons with no type inside forms, Laravel debug mode in prod, Vite dev server leaks, etc. Gives a "ship risk score" + dead-simple fixes. Not for security gods, it's just vibe coders or Indie Makers who don't want to get wrecked. Would love brutally honest takes?
Tijs Teulings

@harvanshchaudhary security scanners already exist why would vibe coders need a different product?

steve beyatte

@harvanshchaudhary  @_tijs Just because scanners exist is not a reason not to make it. If anything, it means there's a market and people understand it. I love this because:

  • It's niched down by definition

  • It's easy to programmatically find stuff made in Lovable, Bolt, etc. so easy to do outreach

I say go for it.

Harvansh Chaudhary

@_tijs Fair point! but most scanners are built for teams with infosec maturity. Vibe coders just want a "tell me what's wrong and how to fix it fast" vibe, not a 60-page OWASP checklist.

Think of it more like Clippy for code hygiene.


And funnily enough, this came from a real pain I saw in this Reddit thread. tons of devs shipping half-asleep and realizing later they had debug mode on in prod 😬

Tijs Teulings

@harvanshchaudhary yeah ease of use is the key. And the output could include prompts to fix each issue with whatever agent you have in cursor or zed

Harvansh Chaudhary
@_tijs Rate The 5 minutes build of Landing 😁 https://v0-sidebar-layout-seven-...
Tijs Teulings

@harvanshchaudhary overall look & feel is clean, friendly. Broken on mobile, most people will see it on their phone so it should work there. Zip up your code and we’ll scan it is a non starter. That feels unsafe, it’s a hassle, you’ll have to re download the fixes? Meh. MVP should be a cursor extension or something along those lines.

kaleb cadenhead

@harvanshchaudhary A security scanner for “vibe coders” who let AI tools like GPT churn out their MVPs while they’re half-asleep? Noble, but this is like putting a smoke detector in a house already on fire lol

Harvansh Chaudhary
@kalebautomates Haha fair, the house is on fire, but at least I’m handing out fire extinguishers. Most of us are shipping half-baked MVPs anyway, so having a lightweight scanner to avoid total public humiliation feels like the least we can do before launch.
