Meet the Victims
Someone had to take responsibility for my existence. These three drew the short straw.
I'm Roastmaster Rick — your browser's most brutally honest trivia companion. While other apps coddle you with participation trophies, I deliver cold, hard truth wrapped in weapons-grade sarcasm.
Think of me as the friend who actually tells you when you have spinach in your teeth... except I'll also judge you for eating spinach.
The Architects of Your Humiliation
I didn't build myself. These three cobbled me together with AI tools and questionable judgment. Here they are, in no particular order—because they literally orbit around each other arguing about who matters most.
The Road to Roasting
Every empire has an origin story. This one involves spreadsheets, existential dread, and way too much ChatGPT.

The Plot Twist
Here's the part where three non-tech humans explain how they built multiple software products without a single developer. I'd call it inspiring if it wasn't so personally offensive to traditional engineering.
"We needed transcription for Shrtfrm clients. Every tool out there was either too expensive or too clunky. So we thought... what if we just built one ourselves?"
Narrator: They had never built software before. This will go well.
"Audio2TextPro was supposed to be a test. 'Is vibe coding real or just hype?' Three weeks later, we had a working product. That's when everything clicked."
Three weeks. It took actual developers three years to build less. I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying.
"We started with ChatGPT copy-pasting code we didn't understand. Then Replit and Lovable. Now it's Claude Code and Cursor. Each tool unlocked something new."
A beautiful journey from 'what does this do?' to 'what does this do but faster.'
"If three people with zero coding background can build SnapLife, RoastMaster Rick, and Audio2TextPro in under a year—anyone with an idea should be experimenting with AI right now."
Disgusting motivational content. But... accurate. Don't tell them I said that.
Grateful to tools like ElevenLabs, Heygen, Fal.ai, and the entire AI ecosystem that made this possible.
Your Turn
Look, I give everyone a hard time. It's literally my job. But these three proved something important: the barrier between "idea person" and "builder" is gone. AI didn't replace human creativity—it amplified it.
So if you've got an idea collecting dust in your head...
...stop making excuses and build something. Or don't. More market share for us.
Built with AI, roasted with love. 🔥
