Post Description

I built CringeScan, a small app that analyzes LinkedIn screenshots and gives them a cringe score. It started as a joke, but it turned into an interesting experiment in how people want feedback on how they come across online.

I built an AI that roasts your LinkedIn profile

The product leans hard into a shareable growth loop: free public roasts to drive attention, plus a paid 'Glow-Up' report with follow-ups. The site shows concrete before/after profile rewrites and promises analysis of bios, photos and content — which is compelling — but it doesn't explain the model or privacy controls, and the core idea (AI profile critique) is becoming crowded.
