Hi! I’m Norbi, the creator of IQRoast.
In the fall of 2023, I was unemployed (again), and instead of looking for a job, I decided to learn programming. I bought a “Programming in 30 Days” book at the market for 500 forints (about $1.50).
By day 3, I gave up and started watching YouTube tutorials. By day 7, I was copy-pasting from Stack Overflow. By day 14, I realized ChatGPT could write the code for me.
And that’s how IQRoast was born!
The inspiration:
One day I looked in the mirror and thought: “I wish there was an app that would tell me how lame I am.” Then I realized – why not make such an app?
So I started working on an AI-based personality analyzer application that… well, is honest with you.
In the first version, the alien was a square because I couldn’t draw a circle.
90% of the games are accidentally difficult. I just coded them wrong.
The AI responses are sometimes weird because I built the training database from our family WhatsApp group messages.
For 87% of the code
For the remaining 13%
Who fired me, giving me time to make this
Who said I’d never amount to anything
(she was wrong, I became an app developer!)
if someone buys me a Mac
currently there’s only 1, but in 6 colors!
“IQRoast is not just an app – it’s my digital child. A poorly raised, rude child, but I love it.”
