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

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

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

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!

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

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?

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

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.

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!

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!

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.
