Don't build the wrong stuff. Paste any idea into dontbuildthis.com & let Roasty the Fox smash it against live trend data, competitor signals & our private vault of wins & flops. You get a brutal score, verdict > pivot tips so you can validate in mins, not months. No signup, free to use.
👋 Hey ProductHunt! David here, co-founder of dontbuildthis.com.
Let's play!
📝 Drop a 1-line pitch in this thread... Roasty (a.k.a. me for today) will reply with a mini-verdict to the first 50 ideas. Let’s see whose concept survives the flames!
Launch perk for the PH crew
Every Product Hunter gets 30 days of our advanced tier = just use the in-app code PH-ROAST.
Why we built it??
After years of building and hanging out in builder communities, hackathons and innovation labs (and too many “quiet” product funerals) we realised most ideas die before code ever matters = they die because nobody truly needs them. So we turned our internal validation process into an AI-powered (duh), brutally honest and constructive fox called Roasty. Paste a pitch, Roasty slams it against real market data + our vault of wins & flops, then spits out a brutal score and pivot tips. It has already roasted 10k+ ideas inside our venture studio, saving teams months of wasted work.
Help us break it!
- Test your own idea (no signup).
- Tell us what confused, delighted, or offended you.
- Feature requests? Edge cases? Bring ’em on.
Thanks for checking us out, and happy roasting! 🦊🔥
@darnocks checked it! Super nice product.
Thought it was going to be a quite gimmicky thing, but it's not, it actually gives me valuable feedback.

I love this idea!@darnocks
An AI personalised ecommerce platform where, based on your inputs about the trip you will get the whole list of recommendations that you might need to buy for the trip. I found when I was younger that I did trips with a little research and then I found cool things that will make my trip better.
Amazon has a lot of options, but imagine Amazon but for travelling. :D

some tips moving forward:
Instead, solve the actual pain: build a tool that makes AI coding assistants faster or more reliable for devs, or one that intelligently manages context and interruptions for deep work.

Now that's you're here.. any business idea I can roast for you?

@walid_boulanouar @darnocks I am happy as a freelancer 😁
Interesting concept! Does it analyze market demand or just validate feasibility? Could save a lot of wasted effort.
had I stumbled on this 2 months ago I would not start building my app... soul-crushing. But probably true...

Hey @darnocks, congrats on the launch! I'm dreaming about an app that tucks the duvet into the duvet cover. This is a trillion business opportunity. Do you think I should go for it?
