Why this even exists

One day I opened LinkedIn, scrolled through a few posts and started feeling like it's no longer a social network - just an automated generator of professional wisdom.

So I closed LinkedIn and instead of scrolling further, went to build this silly thing instead.

CringeScan is a simple satirical app. Paste a post, get a cringe score, see what's still missing from its full LinkedIn potential, and get tips on how to push it even further up the cringe scale. It's not a serious tool, a psychological profile, or an attempt to publicly execute anyone over a bad paragraph.

Honestly, it started mostly as a joke. I wanted to try vibe coding, build something fast, have a laugh at LinkedIn aesthetics, and see if it could become a usable little app.

This site doesn't store submitted texts, doesn't build user profiles, and nothing is tracked here. The text is sent for analysis via the gpt-4o-mini model though, so OpenAI's terms apply to that part. Standard stuff — the internet isn't a magic black hole without rules.

The app is free, no registration, no ads.

Tokens and hosting aren't free though, so I'm covering that myself for now. If it made you smile, feel free to send a coffee. No pressure, but always appreciated.

Have fun.
