RoastMyWeb: A Platform for Community-Driven Website Feedback

Hey there! I'm Pedro Sorrentino, and I'm excited to introduce you to RoastMyWeb, my latest open source project. I created this platform because I believe that honest, constructive feedback is essential for growth in web development, and I wanted to build a space where developers can get that feedback in a positive, supportive environment.

Why I Built RoastMyWeb

As a developer myself, I've always valued the power of community feedback. I chose to build RoastMyWeb using Astro 5, Preact, SQLite, and TailwindCSS because I wanted a fast, efficient platform that could grow with the community. This project is being built in public, which means you'll see it evolve and improve based on real user needs and feedback.

What Makes RoastMyWeb Special

I've designed RoastMyWeb to be more than just another feedback platform. Here's what makes it unique:

  • Built for Developers by a Developer: I understand the challenges of getting meaningful feedback on web projects, so I've created tools that I would want to use myself.
  • Open Source and Transparent: The entire development process is public, and I actively encourage community contributions and suggestions for improvement.
  • Focus on Constructive Feedback: The platform encourages detailed, actionable feedback rather than simple criticisms.

Key Features

Here are the core features I've implemented so far:

  • Profile Cards: Create detailed cards for your websites that showcase your work and the technologies you've used.
  • Comprehensive Review System: Get feedback on multiple aspects of your site, from design to performance.
  • Community Engagement: Interact with reviewers and follow other projects to learn and grow together.

The Development Journey

I'm building RoastMyWeb in public because I believe in transparency and community-driven development. You can follow the project's progress, suggest features, and even contribute to its development. Every feature and improvement is shaped by real user needs and feedback.

What's Coming Next

I have exciting plans for RoastMyWeb's future, including:

  • AI-Enhanced Feedback: Implementing smart suggestions to complement human reviews
  • Advanced Analytics: Providing deeper insights into your website's strengths and areas for improvement
  • Community Events: Creating challenges and events to spark creativity and engagement

Join Me on This Journey

RoastMyWeb is more than just a project - it's a growing community of developers helping each other improve. I'm constantly working on new features and improvements based on user feedback, and I'd love for you to be part of this journey. Whether you're looking to improve your own website or help others improve theirs, there's a place for you here.
