đŸ”„ Roast my idea: drop your ideas and get brutally honest feedback đŸ”„

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.

Filipe Prado

A wizard-style platform that assists founders in creating optimal pricing tier structures through AI-powered recommendations, cost calculations, and industry benchmarking. It features an intuitive pricing tier builder.

steve beyatte

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

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

Talshyn Nova

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

MubashirullahD
Launching soon!

@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.

Launching soon!

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
Launching soon!

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

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

Rudi Bokowski

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

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 :)

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

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.

I'm developing DevBooster, a just-launched AI-powered browser extension that lets you grab any code snippet from the internet to instantly validate, explain, and improve it—perfect for self-learners and junior devs.

You can check out the website and the extension at https://devbooster.ai.

I'm open to any feedback—whether it's about the idea, the website, or the extension!

Kushagra Sinha

I want to make a chrome extension that allows the user to enter their work experience and a Job description, and the AI generates customized resume points for the user. I am still looking for ways on how I can build on this.

pankaj kumar

@kushagrasinha I can suggest you ways to do this but if I understood correctly it is just a wrapper on an Existing LLM like chatgpt. Why you think this can be more useful than passing the same info to chatgpt asking for exactly what your application is claiming to return. Maybe I missed something from your description.

Kushagra Sinha

@pankajti  I'm planning on using a vector-database that consists of real resume bullet points, so the output is not very generalized and basic (Basic as in GPT will suggest similar structured points for every work experience a user enters). In simpler words, I want the bullets points to be more refined . I am still looking for ways on how I can turn this in to a better product and would appreciate any guidance. Thank you

Naveenraj V

We're building a lightweight middleware library that requires minimal integration but delivers a significant boost to backend performance. It's designed to sit between your API and database, handling AI-enhanced prefetching and rule-based caching—perfect for apps dealing with complex data or performance bottlenecks. Drop it in, and your backend gets smarter without a full rewrite.

Would love to hear your thoughts or use cases where this could help!

A tool that utilizes AI to enhance video voiceovers. It enables users to upload any video and offers various options for improving the voiceover:

- Eliminate filler words and correct grammatical errors
- Recommend alternative scripts for better presentation

- Substitute the original voice with a selection of available voices

I feel it can benefit to those who want to create a demo video or an online lecture.

Lautaro Nievas

I’m building a tool where any clinic can launch their own assistant, on WhatsApp or their website, in seconds.

They just scan a QR or paste a script, and it's live.

No setup, no credentials, no tech knowledge needed.

Behind the scenes, the system generates a dynamic n8n workflow per client,

so it’s not just a chatbot, it can actually understand context, book appointments, answer real questions, and adapt to the patient’s needs.

Curious to hear what you think.

Is this useful? Overkill? Not solving a real problem?

kaleb cadenhead

@lautaro_nievas It sounds good, but how do you overcome the lack of reliability in an LLM's output? Just make your users eat up that additional cost for iterative failed runs while it brute forces it's way to completion?

Lautaro Nievas

@kalebautomates Great question, and honestly, that’s been one of our main concerns from the start. We don't rely on LLMs to “figure things out blindly” or brute force responses. Instead, we keep the agent's role tightly scoped: it detects intent, pulls structured info from our tools (like FAQs or available slots), and reformulates the answer naturally. Most of the logic, booking, validating data, even retries, is handled outside the model (in our backend or n8n). This way, we get the benefit of a human-sounding response without giving the LLM too much responsibility or room to fail. Also, we cap token usage, avoid complex reasoning tasks, and use hard rules for fallback: if the model can’t confidently respond, it just asks the user to clarify. No infinite loops, no surprise bills, and no “guesswork” pretending to be smart.

kaleb cadenhead

@lautaro_nievas If all else fails, you can try out TSCE and get a quick accuracy or task adherence uplift ~+30pp over baselines. Will save you a ton on iteration or failures. Won't let me send you the github in a reply, but its an open framework and I'm just in it for the research. Feel free to check out my "product" and incorporate it into your workflows! P.S. I'm a data scientist and work in healthcare! Feel free to hit me up if you need some domain info

Lautaro Nievas

@kalebautomates Oh man, that's gold. I'm not that advanced with that level of data. It's definitely something I'll have to take a look at. I'd love to get in touch with you to show you the app and get your feedback!

Michael Bis

@lautaro_nievas  How do you handle the HIPAA part of it all?

Lautaro Nievas

@bismich4 Yes, that is something I am still trying to resolve, since for example WhatsApp is not valid for Hipaa, I would mainly start launching it in my country, which does not have problems with those regulations, and if not, also start with beauty salons, since this application can be adapted to any type of business.

Michael Bis

@lautaro_nievas That's what I was thinking too...start with other type of businesses first - then slowly move into healtcare

Two-Step Contextual Enrichment (TSCE): first make an LLM spill a high-temperature, symbol-heavy anchor and then force another for the final answer to decode that anchor at T ≈ 0.1. On 300 GPT-3.5 prompts it jumped from 49 % → 79 % accuracy (+30 pp) and cut rule-breaks to 0/300, all for ~1.2 × token cost

@martianprompts sounds nice, but a bit too big brother-ish IMO. Definitely something Google could implement in near future.

Martian

@scorbutics Totally get that, it does give off “Google-could-do-this” vibe.

Google for the subconscious mind

Imagine a startup founder hitting burnout. No time. No money for therapy. But he needs help.

He downloads Odyssea, googles his subconscious, and realizes it’s not burnout, but it’s “fear of failure”, coming up as the voice of his dad, who once failed in his bakery business.

He gets a tailored audio hypnosis, rewires his subconscious, and finally has the energy to show up for work.

Ada Ubah

@tania_kodliuk This sounds so cool. I've been into meditating and rewiring my subconscious mind, and I've learnt that our manifestations and reality depend on our subconscious mind, and changing it isn't always the easiest for some. Your product is a game changer for people who get stuck in the loop of going back to old patterns of thinking or have blocks they haven't recognised as the stumbling block to a higher self. Just wow

Tania Kodliuk

@ada_ubah Thank you so so much Ada! I feel you! I was on my journey too and it was very painful. The manifestation does not work if we have heavy emotions attached to the past. We need to understand and release emotions, learn our lessons, and then we can manifest anything. We have built Odyssea to help people get to understanding faster and in an easier way.

We do not need to have 5 toxic partners or bosses to learn the lesson of boundaries. Life can be easier.

@tusharthethe yo bro, your idea is not bad at all, all I can say so far is that your website is a bit slow(could just be my internet). Other than that the UI seems clean, lots of white though, I saw that you have a leader board, so perhaps you should make sure you have a more engaging UI. Also you mind checking out my project: ugood.vercel.app
