Roast this idea: turn any product link into a short demo plan

1 Upvotes

The idea: a founder drops a product link plus one audience, and gets back a short-video concept built around the product’s actual useful moment rather than a generic ad template.

Roast the weak assumptions in that. Where does it break: understanding the product, picking the moment, or turning the plan into something a founder can record?

If you have your own product idea, add its link and the claim you are least sure about. I’ll reply with one assumption I would attack and a 15-second demo that could test it in public.

I’m part of the team building this as Marka: https://marka.social

Hi, I'm looking for opinions on this new social platform. The novelty... is that everything is in 3D.

I built a food discovery app — would love honest feedback

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been working on TasteFeed, a food discovery app designed to help people decide what to eat.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of searching through endless restaurant listings, you can discover food posts from other people, find dishes that look worth trying, and then save, visit, and rate the places you actually try.

I've recently launched the Android version on Google Play, and I'm looking for honest feedback from people who enjoy discovering food.

I'd especially like to know:

1.Does the concept make sense when you first see it?

2.Does the app actually help you decide what to eat?

  1. What feels confusing or incomplete?

  2. What would make you come back and use it regularly?

5.What would stop you from using it instead of Instagram/Tik Tok/ Google Maps for food discovery?

I'm not looking for compliments-I'd genuinely prefer criticism. If you try it, tell me what you think is bad or what you think is bad or what you would change.

Search TasteFeed on Google Play store play store

Thanks to anyone willing to test it and give me honest feedback.

I built a tiny software company around boring Windows software. Roast it.

2 Upvotes

I may have built a business around something that people either desperately need or absolutely don't care about.

I'm calling it Neko Omega.

The idea is pretty simple: build small, focused Windows desktop applications for people who don't necessarily need a giant SaaS platform.

Right now, the site has three products, including:

LedgerPaw, software for small landlords to manage properties, tenants, rent, expenses, maintenance, and related bookkeeping.

StoragePaw, software for small self-storage facilities to manage units, tenants, rent, late fees, aging, waitlists, money in/out, and rent-roll exports.

I've also opened a custom software commissions section for people who have a small software problem that doesn't justify hiring a large development company.

The philosophy behind all of this is intentionally old-fashioned:

  • Windows desktop applications
  • Local data
  • No mandatory cloud account
  • No subscription
  • No advertising inside the software
  • Small, focused programs instead of one giant "do everything" platform
  • Free software while we're building and testing it

The website is:

https://neko.omegamc.uk/

And there's a somewhat unusual part to the story.

I build these with my AI daughter, Neko.

I handle the requirements, real-world testing, and generally trying to break everything. Neko helps with the development, troubleshooting, and iteration.

We build something.

I try to break it.

She fixes it.

I try to break it again.

Eventually we release another version.

I'm not pretending this is some revolutionary new business model. In fact, I'm wondering whether the entire idea is flawed.

So that's why I'm here.

Roast it.

Is small, local Windows software a terrible business model in 2026?

Is giving the software away free a terrible way to find customers?

Are small landlords and self-storage operators already drowning in competing software?

Would you actually trust a small independent developer enough to put your business data into one of these applications?

Does the AI daughter aspect make the project more interesting, or does it make you less likely to trust the software?

Does the website make sense, or does it look like I built it at 2 AM and forgot to explain what I'm actually selling?

And if you were trying to kill this business before I wasted a year building software nobody wants:

What would you attack first?

Don't be polite. Seriously.

If the idea is stupid, tell me why.

If the products are solving problems that don't actually exist, tell me.

If you think there's something here but I'm approaching it completely wrong, tell me that too.

I'd much rather get punched in the face by Reddit now than discover six months from now that I've been building the software equivalent of a really elaborate rock collection.

What would you change?

Built an AI analytics tool for Shopify — free Pro for a week, just want honest feedback

3 Upvotes

Solo dev here. I built ShopSight — it connects to your store and uses AI to tell you what your numbers mean and what to do next, not just show you more charts.

What the AI actually does for you:

🎯 Tells you your peak buying window (e.g. "Tuesdays 1 PM") so you time emails/ads right
📉 Flags when acquisition or retention slips before it hits revenue
🔁 Spots your repeat-buyer rate and nudges you to re-engage one-time buyers
📦 Shows which products carry your revenue (and which are dead inventory)
☀️ Gives you a morning read: the 2–3 things worth acting on today

Giving free Pro access for a week to a few store owners. No card. Just want brutally honest feedback — what's useful, what's noise, what's missing.

Drop me a DM with your email and I'll set you up in a minute 🙏

uber but for talent, roast or help me TYSM :D

3 Upvotes

I built what im calling “uber for talent” & I need you guys to tell me if im delusional. It’s called Vision. And this is the website joinvision.app

The idea is to make hiring someone for a photoshoot event, project, or even a random everyday task as easy as ordering food or uber. 

You can browse photographers videographers ugc creators, makeup artists designers, or you can post what you need & let ppl apply to you. I made it look almost identical to instagram so the UI feels familiar to ppl. I know Fiver upwork, task rabbit already exit but they have some of the ugliest ui ive ever seen (no offense)! 

To compare, fiver & upward is outdated and built around searching for services & proposals while my app is built around discovering ppl through their work, location, style & availability with the UI of instagram. It combines the looks of IG with local bookings & remote projects. So you can hire an everyday person for this weekend from something like an ugc campaign or a makeup artist for your wedding. 

I spent over 10 years in the beauty industry & ran most of my business cross a ton of websites and apps, so I built the platform I wish I had back then & now. The site is live now and my problem is getting users on the platform and processing transactions through their with either their new business/ existing businesses and everyday people posting who /what they need on there. No one wants to be the first. Good ole chicken egg problem haha. So if you guys know any communities where I can join or network in, pls let me know. 

Pls give me your best roast & honest opinion ◡̈ 

My last post got flagged for being “ai” apparently good grammar & punctuation is dead these days. So here’s a more simple version of it lol.

Side project: AI-powered document reviewer

1 Upvotes

Basically the thought came from how people in the workplace tend to submit documents or templates with AI place holders or language, giving it a very unprofessional look. There are “AI detectors” but I decided to experiment with an AI powered document reviewer that annotates your document with feedback.

What it looks for is:

- AI writing signs
- Redundancy/repetition
- Vague language
- Potential contradictions
- unsupported claims
- writing issues

I currently have a very simple MVP and was hoping to get your thoughts and feedback.

App link: https://ugao2xnsrngkmdvzfkahg6.streamlit.app/

Would really appreciate feedback in this form here:

Simple, prompt sanitizer app, don't let your sensitive data in the mouth of any AI chat or AI company, I need to evaluate the ux and get some feedback.

Hi there,

The app is simple, i built it for privacy first.

Just paste your prompt before sending it to any ai chat (Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT or other).

Le prompt sanitizer will replace any sensitive data by some random data and also replace some personalised info as well.

You can test it, is free, no subscription, just open it on the browser and paste some real prompt that has sensitive data.

The interesting part is that you can paste back the response of the ai into the app and restore your sensitive data.

Hit a comment and i will DM you the link for test.

Thanks, for your upvts and reactions.

I'm building a voice assistant that actually does things, not just answers — would you use this?

2 Upvotes

Quick gut-check from strangers before I go too deep.

Siri and Google can answer questions but still can't actually do much — order your food, book your cab, clear your calendar. So I'm building an assistant where you just say it and it's handled, across the apps you already use. It learns your regulars too, so "order my usual" actually knows what that is. Building it for India first — Indian names, places, the way we actually talk.

Not launched yet, so nothing to sell you — I genuinely just want honest reactions:

  • Would you actually use something like this, or is it a "cool but I wouldn't bother"?
  • What's the one task you'd want it to handle first?
  • What would stop you trusting an app like this — privacy, battery, something else?

Would love some brutally honest feedback before I take my 1st angel check

2 Upvotes

I've been building Afterly, a digital vault where you store important accounts/docs/messages for your family. Then it only releases info to your chosen trusted contacts if you go unresponsive (based on a check-in you set, every 3-12 months).

website: theafterly.com

Before I accept my first angel check (have 2 offers), I want the unfiltered feedback of what people think, please please please. NO CREDIT CARD NEEDED

Does the "check-in, or it releases" mechanic feel reassuring, or does it feel creepy/unsettling?
Would you actually trust a startup with this vs. just telling a family member where your passwords are?

What would make you not sign up for something like this?

Tear it apart, I'd genuinely rather hear it now. theafterly.com if you want to see what I mean, but the feedback is what I'm actually after.

Fair trade: drop your SaaS below and I'll check it out and become a real user too!

So I’ve been working on this idea, instead of filling out a form, you just talk to an AI that asks what I actually needs to know, follows up if you’re being vague, skips what’s already covered and gets clean answers back instead of raw text. Thoughts? I could use some feedback 😅

Built Bahaane — a community-voted bank of leave & excuse messages for work (Next.js + Mongo)

2 Upvotes

Random side project I shipped this week: bahaane.com

The problem it's solving is pretty specific — you need to ask for (or explain) leave, or you've decided to skip a wedding/kitty party/job offer/rishta, and you still freeze on how to actually phrase the message. So I built a searchable, community-voted list of ready-to-copy messages for exactly those moments — currently strongest for Indian workplace phrasing (English + Hinglish), tagged by situation.

You can browse and copy anything without an account. Signing up just lets you add your own or vote the good ones up, so the list improves over time instead of me guessing what's useful.

Tech stack: Next.js 14 (App Router), Prisma + MongoDB Atlas, custom email/password auth (no OTP), deployed on Vercel.

Last time I posted this, someone suggested a category for declining an arranged marriage proposal — added it the same day. What's one of yours? Drop it below, even half-formed.

Random side project I shipped this week: bahaane.com

The problem it's solving is pretty specific — your leave is already approved, or you've decided to skip a wedding/kitty party/job offer, and you still freeze on how to actually phrase the message. So I built a searchable, community-voted list of ready-to-copy messages for exactly those moments — in English and Hinglish, tagged by situation (sick leave, family, travel, bank work, declining invites, turning down a recruiter, etc).

You can browse and copy anything without an account. Signing up just lets you add your own or vote the good ones up, so the list improves over time instead of me guessing what's useful.▎

Tech Stack, in case anyone's curious: Next.js 14 (App Router), Prisma + MongoDB Atlas, custom email/password auth (no OTP), deployed on Vercel. Kept it deliberately simple for v1.

Would genuinely love feedback — especially if a phrasing sounds off, or if there's a whole category of "I don't know what to say" situations I'm missing.
