Posting your startup in r/roastmystartup
Personal origin stories that explain the problem the founder faced, combined with a genuine ask for brutal feedback. Top posts lead with 'I kept running into this problem' or 'I spent years on this and need to know if anyone wants it'—vulnerability mixed with a real startup link.
Self-promotion rules
You can share your startup, but only with a real domain (no ProductHunt or Vercel links). Posts must show genuine effort—avoid AI-written content, low-effort reposts, or simple questions. The community wants honest roasts and real feedback, not polished pitches.

i built a scheduling tool because my team was drowning in calendar chaos—please roast it
Every project I've worked on had the same problem: three different calendar tools, nobody synced, half the team never saw meeting updates. So I spent the last six months building something to fix it, and I genuinely have no idea if anyone else even cares about this problem.
