Hey Guys,

I've been tinkering and practising my coding skills (for want of a better word) for a while and decided to release a fun little project I've been working on - Bio Cringe.

Ever read a 'hacktivist growth mindset guru' bio on LinkedIn that made your soul leave your body? How about a '24/7 experimental thought guru' Twitter bio that made you want to smash your face into your keyboard? Bio Cringe has it all - and based on the level of obnoxiousness you choose it will generate a bio for you so lacking in self-awareness and reality that Elon Musk would blush.

Purely for fun, purely satirical, but I hope you guys get a laugh out of it.

This is fun. Some feedback:

- I didn’t notice that much difference between the levels of obnoxiousness. Essentially the higher levels seemed to be more confident but contain the same ideas.

- All of them are very short, which means there’s also not a lot of variety.

- it seems like the two topics in the generation prompt are “future riches” and “currently broke”. A greater diversity would be lovely. Spiritual BS, dating gurus, crypto, impossible startup ideas… these are a few obnoxious things I’d like to see.

Thanks and congrats on front page

I would add that most of these feel like a setup and a punchline, but the two parts are styled the same and show up immediately

if I were building this I might experiment with showing them separately so you can fully appreciate the recognizable first bit

"Life coach :yoga:"

...

"if my own counts"

with the punchline following. There's a bit of a pause that's missing in the delivery, though I'm not sure how to convey that pause in such a simple format

I think the #installation section of the README needs to be updated.

https://github.com/LukeDunsMoto/BioCringe?tab=readme-ov-file...

Either that or the python file and its requirements.txt are missing

The README also uses 'YourUsername' instead of OP's actual username.

Was this LLM generated, OP?
