Out Roast: a public trial for bad homepages

outroast.lol Observed source

Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A $3 AI service screenshots a homepage, marks its alleged crimes with emojis, publishes a verdict, and sends the owner a private audit with fixes.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The service separates spectacle from diagnosis: the public layer uses emoji annotations, a damage score, and wall rankings, while the private layer removes the jokes and prioritizes fixes. Its stated review process combines a 1280px screenshot with title, meta description, favicon, and external company research. Submission is presented as a one-time $3 payment rather than a subscription, and the page identifies Grok as the judging agent.
