Hall of Flame
A collection of brave souls who submitted their ideas to the roaster.
shorts makse based on idea using tts and images carousel
"You've just described the digital equivalent of printing money at a copy shop—except 10,000 other people had the exact same idea last week, and YouTube's algorithm has already decided this content is worth $0.40 per 1,000 views. Congrats on reinventing the wheel that's been spinning in the mud for 18 months."
a platform to roast ideas like sharks in shark tank.. user inputs ideas and gets roasted.. "... so I'm out" but I'd be interested if you do this.. as I like this kinda..
"You've basically invented a content machine that monetizes schadenfreude—which is hilarious until you realize most people want *feedback*, not entertainment roasting. You're one YouTube series away from irrelevance, and you'd need a *really* compelling angle to compete with actual Shark Tank clips."
a content calendar based on a specific content area. LLM generates content draft meant for different platform, repurposes content for different platform and as artifact user will have articles to post with suggested cadence thoroughout the month.. etc..
"You've just reinvented the content calendar wheel, except now it's powered by ChatGPT and somehow *more* generic. Congrats—you've built a feature, not a business, and there are already 47 SaaS tools doing this with better UX and actual paying customers."
A SaaS control plane that sits in front of Datadog logs and reduces customer spend by 40–70% through app-log routing, sampling, payload optimization, and tiered storage. It auto-migrates existing Datadog pipelines, mirrors retention/indexing rules, and becomes the governance layer for observability spend. Target customers are mid-to-large engineering orgs with $250k+ annual Datadog bills.
"You're building a product for a problem Datadog is actively solving in-house, betting that customers will adopt yet another vendor to save money on a tool they've already committed to—basically asking companies to replace a hammer with a slightly lighter hammer wrapped in bureaucracy. The margins are slim, the sales cycle is nuclear, and you'll spend 18 months proving ROI to procurement teams who'd rather just upgrade their contract."
consulting and tools to move out of AWS( Since AWS can be very expensive sometimes) ... also cost optimization on AWS in general
"You're basically trying to sell people the parachute after they've already jumped out of the plane—AWS cost optimization is a crowded mess, and "move away from AWS" is what every cloud broker has been screaming for a decade. You've picked the exact lane where every consultant, FinOps startup, and AWS partner is already elbowing each other."
I'm a former SaaS support manager with 5 years of experience. I want to offer "Customer Support Audit + Playbook" services to early-stage B2B SaaS companies (10-50 employees) who are scaling but don't have a support system yet. I'll charge $3k-5k per engagement to audit their current setup, build them a Notion-based support playbook with templates, set up their ticketing system (Intercom/Zendesk), and train their first support hire. I have 20 hours/week and can start with my network of 15 foun
"You're basically selling the 'Build Your First Process' playbook to founders who haven't even hired their support team yet—which means you're either solving a problem before they feel it, or you're pitching to people who'll DIY it with ChatGPT in 2 hours. The real issue: early-stage founders don't *want* a 20-page Notion doc; they want the person who can *be* their support for 6 months while they figure out what they actually need."
A real-time writing assistant that identifies style issues as you type, combining regex pattern matching with OpenAI's GPT-4o for intelligent feedback across multiple style categories processed in parallel.
"You've built a Ferrari when the market wanted a bicycle—Grammarly, Hemingway App, and a dozen AI writing tools are already doing this better with actual user bases. You're essentially paying OpenAI to compete with OpenAI's own products."
A minimalist personal portfolio site built with vanilla HTML and CSS, hosted on AWS S3 with CloudFront CDN for fast, reliable global delivery.
"You've built a portfolio site—congratulations, you've solved a problem nobody's paying for. This is like opening a restaurant to show people how good your cooking *could* be instead of, you know, actually feeding them."
A video creation library that lets developers programmatically generate videos using React, turning code into dynamic visual content.
"You've just copy-pasted a GitHub repo link and called it a side hustle idea—that's not a business model, that's a bookmark folder. Remotion is a legit open-source video creation framework, but 'I'll use this tool' isn't a hustle, it's a hobby waiting to happen."
A serverless content quality checking system that uses AWS Step Functions to orchestrate parallel Lambda-based validation checks and aggregate results into a unified quality score. This POC demonstrates how to build scalable, distributed content validation pipelines on AWS infrastructure.
"You've built a POC for a technical architecture problem that literally no one is paying for as a side hustle—you've just described AWS's own documentation with extra steps. This is a portfolio piece masquerading as a business idea, which is great for your résumé but terrible for your bank account."
A serverless API platform that serves Nepali jokes with enterprise-grade infrastructure—complete with authentication, CI/CD pipelines, analytics, and multi-channel social distribution. It demonstrates production-ready cloud architecture using AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, Cognito) while building community engagement across social media platforms.
"You've built a enterprise-grade AWS infrastructure blueprint to deliver jokes that are free on 47 other platforms—congrats, you've engineered a $500/month hobby that will never break even. The tech stack is impressive; the business model is a participation trophy."
A trivia quiz platform that tests knowledge about famous people, places, and cultural elements from Nepal, featuring interactive polls, community comments, and real-time engagement powered by serverless APIs and cloud infrastructure.
"You've got the technical stack of a production app but the market validation of a fever dream—'Nepal Famous Quiz' is basically 'Sporcle but make it niche' with zero competitive moat. Building infrastructure for a quiz nobody asked for is like opening a restaurant without knowing if anyone's hungry."
A web scraper and news aggregation platform that collects and curates the latest news from Nepal, making it easy to stay informed on local stories in one centralized place.
"You've got a GitHub repo with install instructions but zero business model—congrats, you've built a journalism assignment, not a side hustle. News aggregation is the graveyard of failed projects where everyone thinks *their* curation angle is special (it's not)."
A comprehensive DevOps learning platform that helps engineers master AWS, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure through interactive quizzes, powered by a modern Next.js frontend and serverless AWS backend with AI-driven question generation.
"You've built a DevOps quiz platform in a market absolutely drowning in free Udemy courses, Linux Academy, and A Cloud Guru—congratulations, you've made a beautiful solution to a problem nobody's willing to pay for. The real tragedy? You clearly have solid engineering chops, which means you're wasting them competing on *content* instead of leveraging your actual superpower."
A serverless API that lets users submit, vote on, and retrieve multiple-choice quiz questions, powered by AWS Lambda and DynamoDB with built-in AI-driven question generation—currently focused on Kubernetes content but extensible to any domain.
"You've built a technically competent quiz API that solves a problem nobody asked for—it's like creating the world's most elegant mousetrap when people switched to electric ones. Unless you've got enterprise customers lined up, this is a solution looking desperately for a problem, wrapped in AWS bills."
A collaborative music creation platform that enables musicians to connect, share ideas, and build tracks together in real-time. Break down creative barriers and turn musical inspiration into finished work with seamless teamwork tools.
"You've got a Next.js boilerplate and a dream, but no actual app, no market research, and no clue why musicians would use *your* collaboration tool over Splice, BeatStars, or literally Discord. This is the digital equivalent of buying a pizza oven and calling yourself a restaurant."
A markdown editor and converter that lets you write, preview, and transform markdown in real-time directly in your browser.
"You've accidentally submitted your Next.js boilerplate README instead of an actual business idea—which is somehow more honest than 90% of side hustle pitches. At least we know you can copy-paste documentation."
A multi-component platform that generates, manages, and organizes ideas through intelligent workflows—combining core generation logic, search capabilities, and persistent storage to help teams capture and refine concepts at scale.
"You've built a GitHub repo structure instead of a business idea—congratulations, you've created a solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist yet. 'Idea generation and management' is what ChatGPT, Notion, and a spiral notebook already do for free or $10/month."
A community-driven word dictionary platform that lets users contribute, discover, and engage with crowdsourced word definitions through a modern, interactive interface. Built with Next.js and AWS, it combines the power of collective curation with a sleek user experience to make language learning collaborative and accessible.
"You've just built Wikipedia's forgotten cousin that nobody asked for—a community dictionary in 2024 when Google exists and ChatGPT can define anything instantly. Congrats on reinventing a solved problem with extra steps and zero defensibility."
A news aggregation platform powered by Google's Gemini AI that intelligently curates and summarizes news stories in real-time. It leverages cutting-edge AI to help users stay informed with personalized, concise news updates tailored to their interests.
"You've submitted a Next.js boilerplate README instead of an actual idea—which is somehow MORE honest than 90% of side hustle pitches. At least you're transparent about having nothing yet."
A serverless news digest platform that uses AI to curate and generate a personalized daily email covering the latest AI trends, news, and insights—complete with in-depth analysis, interactive quizzes, and fact-of-the-day content. Built on AWS Lambda and CloudFront for scalable, always-on delivery.
"You've built a technically competent newsletter generator in a market where Morning Brew, The Verge, and 47 AI newsletters already exist—you're essentially competing by being cheaper to run, which is a race to the bottom. The real question isn't 'can I build this?' but 'why would anyone subscribe to my digest instead of ChatGPT's built-in web search?'"
A workflow automation app that leverages AI to streamline repetitive tasks and boost productivity by 10x. Built for teams that want to eliminate manual work and focus on high-impact activities.
"You've got a Next.js boilerplate and a vague AI idea — that's like showing up to a pitch meeting with a hammer and saying you're building a house. The 'ai10x-workflow' name screams 'I haven't validated what problem I'm actually solving,' and posting your README instead of a real value prop is *chef's kiss* of confusion."
A comprehensive collection of code examples and resources designed to help developers learn AI concepts through hands-on tutorials from CloudYeti.
"You've built a GitHub repo that's basically a digital filing cabinet for tutorials nobody asked for—congratulations, you've invented content with zero distribution strategy. This is like opening a restaurant in your basement and wondering why people aren't lining up."
A CLI tool that generates personalized spiritual audio content by combining AI-generated quotes, text-to-speech intros, and synthesized audio—enabling creators to produce branded meditation and inspirational podcast episodes in minutes.
"You've built a beautifully engineered solution to a problem nobody has—automating spiritual quote audio snippets that'll get buried under 10 million lo-fi beats and genuine meditation apps. This is a feature, not a business."
A generative AI model that creates infinitely long, coherent video content by breaking through traditional length limitations. SkyReels V2 enables filmmakers and creators to generate extended cinematic sequences without the constraints of previous video generation models.
"You've built a technically impressive infinite-length video generation model and then decided to monetize it by... letting people play with it for free on a playground? That's like spending $2M on a Ferrari and using it as a decorative lawn ornament."
A mobile app that scans receipts to automatically identify price drops eligible for refunds and match purchases to available cashback and rebate offers—turning everyday shopping into a source of passive savings.
"You've just described Fetch Rewards, Ibotta, and Receipt Hog's lovechild—except you're planning to build it solo with zero distribution advantage. The receipts are already being scanned; you're just optimizing someone else's data goldmine."
A video generation tool that transforms inspirational quotes into dynamic, professionally-voiced videos using AWS Polly's neural voices. Generate quotes on any topic or from specific people, then automatically pair them with alternating male/female narration and background imagery to create engaging, shareable content.
"You've built a solution to a problem nobody has — inspirational quote videos are basically YouTube's spam folder. Polly voices sound like a GPS having an existential crisis, so unless your audience is visually impaired motivational speakers, you're competing against free TikTok creators with actual charisma."
