Testing tamim.io, the spicy option was ok, in fact, I take it as a compliment that it has 90s aesthetics. The normal option was better IMO, it also was about 90s but this line was funny!

> Also, so many projects involving drones. Yet with this site design, it feels like you're more about driving us into a drone... of boredom! Maybe get a drone to deliver some color and modern web design to this page.

Cool tool though, thanks!

Yea! We gotta make some prompt changes to the spicy option. I also like the normal better. But that's super awesome! Glad you like it.

Well done. For the spicy roast of

    https://www.dotnom.com
The response includes:

> Calling this site "Dotnom" makes sense because after visiting it, the only thing I'm left dotting is the 'i' in 'unimpressive.'

Most of the rest of the roast addresses atypical design choices, which is exactly what I'd expect to be focused on in a real roast. I really enjoyed this!

Ha not bad, pagewatch.ai

  Look at that video player, apologizing profusely because it doesn’t know why it 
  can’t load. Sadly, it’s the most relatable thing on your webpage. Your site is 
  like a desperate dating profile: "I swear I'm different!
I wanted to reciprocate with my tool (not as spicy) https://pagewatch.ai/5f5c1cef-c119-4389-9641-965a4fee2b33/29...

Enter should submit the form from the input. One of my biggest pet peeves. It's not even within a form tag :'(

WHY IS THE "SEE THE CODE ON GITHUB" NOT AN ANCHOR TAG! DO YOU UNDERSTAND BASIC SEMANTICS? DO YOU REALLY NEED TO NAVIGATE VIA JAVASCRIPT FOR A STATIC LINK? WHY CAN'T I MIDDLE CLICK TO OPEN IN A NEW TAB? BECAUSE YOU USED A BUTTON!

WHY IS THERE NO LABEL FOR THE MAIN INPUT. JUST CHUCK SR-ONLY ON THE LABEL ELEMENT, LINK IT TO THE INPUT, AT LEAST THEN IT'LL BE MILDLY ACCESSIBLE. PLACEHOLDERS AREN'T A 100% ANSWER TO DESCRIBE WHAT AN INPUT SHOULD BE DOING.

Don't get me started on the mobile design.

There. Non-LLM Roasts. But also some nitpicks. Otherwise, pretty cool.

Here’s us at Medium Spicy (news.ycombinator.com):

> Sure, here’s a roast for Hacker News: “Oh, look! It’s where hipster tech enthusiasts gather to pretend that reading obscure academic papers and debating blockchain moralities will somehow save the world. Users here must believe that they are singlehandedly revolutionizing the internet by sharing the latest in cutting-edge spreadsheet theory. Between the 90s design and the endless sea of ‘expert’ opinions, I’m surprised this site isn’t still run on a dial-up modem.”

Ouch!

The website itself https://www.roastmywebsite.ai - seems about right.

> Well, this website looks like it was designed by someone who learned HTML and CSS yesterday. The floating gradients look like an early 2000's PowerPoint background, and your choice of fonts is more schizophrenic than a cat on catnip. It's as if someone threw up random UI elements and called it an interface. Seriously, who thought that mild, medium, and spicy roast levels were a good idea? It’s a roast, not a taco shop. Even the “See code on Github” button looks like it's desperately trying to escape this hot mess. And the color palette? It's like you asked a five-year-old to pick their favorite colors, then proceeded to spill coffee all over it. The input fields and wait time for your roast are just an added insult to what already feels like digital purgatory. This isn't a roast; it's a cry for a complete overhaul.
