Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Varad, the solo developer behind Wordcraft. Full disclosure: I’m not a professional writer. I’m a developer. But like most people here, I’ve spent the last two years using AI to help me write emails, documentation, and landing page copy. The "Ah-ha" Moment: I noticed a frustrating pattern. No matter how mediocre or "fluffy" my drafts were, every AI tool I used would tell me the same thing: "This looks great! Excellent work!" It felt like being surrounded by "Yes-Men." AI has been trained to be so polite and helpful that it has lost the ability to be critical. But in the real world, if your writing is boring, people don't tell you it's "excellent"—they just stop reading. Why I built Wordcraft: I wanted to see if I could use LLMs to solve for honesty rather than just output. I built Wordcraft as a prompt-engineering experiment to strip away the "politeness" guardrails. I wanted a tool that would act like a ruthless editor—finding the lazy clichés, the filler words, and the passive voice that makes content disappear into the noise. The "Brutal Roast Mode" is the result of that experiment. It’s designed to be the "friend who tells you there's spinach in your teeth." It’s a bit mean, but it’s the most effective feedback I’ve ever received from a machine. What’s under the hood: Groq AI (Llama 3.3 70B): For lightning-fast, intelligent critiques. LanguageTool: For the hard grammar and spelling checks. Custom SEO Engine: To verify if your content actually has a chance to rank. This is a Beta launch, so it might have some rough edges, but the core "Honesty Engine" is ready for you to try. I’d love to know: can you handle the roast? 😄 Check it out and let me know your thoughts! — Varad
