Show HN: I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization (visualrambling.space)

Hey HN! I created a web app called Roast My Dish, it's a fun side project where you upload a photo of your dish, and an AI chef roasts it brutally. After the roast, it gives you a personalized "redemption" recipe to help you improve (or laugh).

It's built using Next.js, Tailwind.css, MongoDB, Azure Open Ai API, and I tried to mix entertainment with a bit of usefulness. Great for foodies, meme lovers, and anyone curious about AI + humor use cases.

Would love your feedback or ideas to improve it!

Wow this is a clever way to get people to both supply and annotate images for you for free. 2025 is gonna be the year of the seefood app.

But there’s already an app that will tell you it’s not a hot dog for quite some time now. What else could you possibly need after that?

sshine · 97d ago

Well, is it a hot dog?

Those are two different questions.

So in the early 2000s we had hotornot.com and other crowdsourced photo rating websites; now we can just let an AI make us feel miserable?

Hot or not is still a thing...

Sounds fun! It'd be nice if it had sample ones for first-time visitors so you can see what it does without having to have a picture on hand to upload.

It works best if you upload pictures of food. Somehow a roast works less good when the roaster doesn’t even notice it’s not food in the picture.

Can it do it in a British accent?

I uploaded something that was not even food and it didn’t seem to notice.
