Hey Indie Hackers! 👋
I've been watching my Twitter and TikTok feeds get flooded with these hilarious, slightly savage 3D caricatures lately. You know the ones—where people ask AI to "create a caricature of me and my job" or do a "vibe check" based on their profile picture.
It’s a massive viral trend right now.
The Problem:
I wanted to join in, so I went to ChatGPT. But I hit two walls:
The Paywall: You usually need ChatGPT Plus to generate high-quality images (DALL-E 3).
The "Prompt Engineering" Headache: To get that specific viral look (the "Pixar-style maximalist" vibe), you can't just say "draw me." You have to write a paragraph describing lighting, textures, and 3D rendering styles.
Most people just want to upload a selfie, type "I'm an overworked Nurse," and get a funny result. They don't want to learn how to prompt.
The Solution (My MVP):
So, I spent the last few weeks building CaricatureTrend.com.
It’s a specialized AI wrapper designed specifically for this trend. I reverse-engineered the popular aesthetic and baked the complex prompts into the backend.
Here is what it does differently:
Targeted Modes: Instead of a blank text box, I built modes specifically for the search intent I saw rising:
"Me & My Job": Focuses on workplace chaos (floating tools, messy desks).
"Identity Roast": Targets the "create a caricature of me based on everything you know about me" query. It analyzes the visual "vibe" of a selfie to generate a personalized roast.
Customizable "Roast Level": Users can choose between a "Mild" cartoon or a "Savage" caricature.
I need your feedback:
I just pushed the latest update (added a Gallery and Social Sharing features). I’d love for you guys to roast my landing page or the generation quality.

Does the UI feel intuitive? Is the "Roast Level" feature actually funny or just gimmicky?
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
Hey Liz, your website is pretty cool! do you have any other SaaS?
I tried it. Very cool!
