Fekri: The Coding Cowboy of Bluesky

What is Bluesky Roast?

Bluesky Roast is an AI-powered tool that analyzes your Bluesky presence and turns it into a hilarious roast. With millions of users sharing content daily, I thought it would be fun to add some humor to social media analytics.

The AI combines advanced language models with comedy writing techniques to create personalized, witty observations about your posting habits, interactions, and overall Bluesky personality.

I'm Fekri, and I built Bluesky Roast to make social media analysis more entertaining. When I'm not building fun AI apps, I'm helping families and food lovers plan smarter meals with PantryAI. It pulls recipes from anywhere, builds weekly plans in minutes, and even checks what’s already in your fridge so you only buy what you need.
