Show HN: I made a platform for consensual comedy roasts

1•RoastFeast•10h ago
Hi HN,

I built Roast Feast as a solo dev project to solve a cultural itch: I love the comedy of roasts but hate how online "dunks" are mean-spirited and lack consent. This is a space to bring back the fun of roasting among willing participants.

The core is consensual, structured humor:

    Verified Consent: To host a roast, you upload a photo holding a "Feast!" sign. No surprises.

    Private & Safe: Create unlisted, invite-only events for friends, coworkers, or communities. Nicknames are platform-assigned (Adjective+Noun) to prevent impersonation.

    Tech Stack: Nuxt 3 (SSR), Supabase (Auth/DB/Realtime), Vuetify. I even wrote a custom PostgreSQL function to enforce the nickname format at the database level.
I'm launching by being the first roast target (my "Feast!" sign is already up).

I'd love your feedback, especially on:

    The consent verification flow – does it feel clear or like unnecessary friction?

    The platform interface 
And a broader question: Do you think structured, consensual humor platforms like this have a future, or is the chaotic dunk the permanent norm online?

Try a roast or start your own: https://roastfeast.com
