Built social network to make fun of corporate cringe. Post humblebrag content and react with direct emotions.

You mean, like, every other social network?

Yesterday I was bragmaxxing when it hit me. Here's what they don't tell you: It's early and they're missing some important features.

A novelty site should require no login for a 10 second look laugh and bounce out.

It took a bit of clicking, but no login needed to see the "feed". https://cringeout.com/feed

Unless it chained in the last 31 minutes, the Feed link is literally top-centre of the homepage.

Posts are public for now.

Password must contain at least one special character (!@#$%^&*...)

Why?

That authentic bad corporate practice experience.

It hasn't become better since 2022 from what I've seen (for instance from my inbox 5 minutes ago, demanding yet another password rotation with a new and longer list of obnoxious requirements)

Added Google login as alternative option.

I thought we already have LinkedIn for that?

CringeOut6• 3 months ago

We need cringe overflow or only fans for professional world.

So linkedin?

ramon1562• 3 months ago

Just open up LinkedIn. I've never seen so much cringe in one tab. This includes some people I respect because they're good programmers. Why lower yourself to corporate slop

ramon1562• 3 months ago

Also sorry to say but the posts do not capture the genuine cringe I get from LinkedIn. Cringe has layers

"authenticity meets audacity." - I thought this is what blind was for?

Fun ideas are always fun. That said, i am really tired of seeing every new website looking exactly like each other

CringeOut6• 3 months ago

Agree, I notice these patterns too, just good to create quick MVPs to validate idea.

Rodmine• 3 months ago

Finally LinkedIn has some competition.

Another bait for grabbing user emails, another opportunity for a leaked database of as such! Why are there still sites, where you have to sign up with a disposable email address and waste everyones time? If you AI slop a website on your way to work, at least keep it accessible.

karangosrani• 3 months ago

Great idea but you have to stick to your design language throughout the pages. The pill buttons become boxy on the feed page. The whole nav changes as well that damages user experience.

CringeOut6• 3 months ago

Thanks for the feedback. Aim was to implement basic functionality like posting, commenting, sharing, reacting, which should work well and then build or pivot from there.

twisteriffic• 3 months ago

I had never heard anyone say "I'd like to double-click on that" until yesterday and now it's following me everywhere...

CringeOut6• 2 months ago

Had to drill down to find what "double-click on that" means...
