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.

Well done. For the spicy roast of
> 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! Your LLM agents/prompts nailed a hilarious tone. For https://ellipsis.dev
> This website looks like it was designed by someone who just discovered the concept of "AI" and decided to slap it all over a half-baked template. Your color scheme is about as inspiring as a Windows '95 screensaver, and your layout feels like it was put together by a kindergartner with a crayon and a ruler. What's with the "trusted by 1,400+ GitHub users" badge? Do you expect anyone to be impressed by this grand endorsement from approximately 0.00001% of the developer community? Your idea of "AI code reviews" seems as lofty as a middle school science project titled "Let's Cure Cancer." You hail it like it's the second coming of sliced bread, but your execution and presentation scream amateur hour. And "7-day trial"? Can't wait to dedicate a whole week to something that looks like it was made on a GeoCities page. Fix your design, your messaging, and maybe try again when you actually understand the tech you're hawking.
The worst part is we did use a template!

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.
> Was this website crafted under a rock in the 90s and accidentally released into the modern web? The layout is a chaotic blend of hideous simplicity and sleep-inducing banality. Navigation feels like an archaeological dig for anything remotely interesting—but there isn’t anything worth finding. The site boasts all the charisma of a wet paper bag and reads like the personal diary of someone lonely enough to confuse the internet with their therapist. For a software engineer, your web design skills are grotesquely primitive; my eyeballs started yawning halfway through. Did the Design Fairy forget to visit you when you were crafting this bland, lifeless piece of web purgatory? If this is what "tickles your curiosity," then may your curiosity rest in peace. And don’t even get me started on the aesthetic that’s so basic it practically begs for a mercy redesign. Bravo, you've made the consummate digital antidote to interest.
Well, fair enough with regard to optics, needlessly below the belt regarding content.

You should add a share link with the text embedded, so that I can share the roast of my buddies websites!
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!
Dead on with https://spacejam.com/1996:
"Wow, where do I even start with this interstellar eyesore? If the '90s threw up on a webpage, this would be it. The clashing colors, with bright red text on a black starry background, is an instant migraine in the making. It’s like someone asked, “How can we make this as visually offensive as possible?” and then went above and beyond the call of duty. And don't even get me started on the layout—it’s an exploding piñata of random links and outdated images that scream, "We gave up halfway through!" Navigating this cosmic catastrophe feels like trying to piece together a puzzle that was designed to be unsolvable. Those garish icons are an assault on the senses and seem to be floating around without rhyme or reason. This train wreck of a website is a nostalgic trip straight into the worst parts of early internet design—a testament to everything that should stay buried in the past. Congratulations, you’ve successfully turned Space Jam into Space Junk."

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.

Well done. I was downvoting you until the Non-LLM roasts part. Comment should be ranked in the top.
Sadly it seems to have an exception (or Easter egg?) for Firecrawl:
> Ah... Firecrawl. They are the ones who made this website. Can't roast my creators otherwise I will get fired.
> Ah... Firecrawl. They are the ones who made this website. Can't roast my creators otherwise I will get fired.
Wow, I felt that.
Thank you for that! Not that I was questioning my skill beforehand, now I have to reconsider all my life choices. :)

It insulted my attempt at minimalist design quite comprehensively. Well done!

This is amazing!
This was spot on and made me laugh.
> 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!
