Snarky AI Code Reviewer

Paste your JavaScript and get roasted -- a rule-based linter that pattern-matches classic code smells with attitude.

What you're building

You're building a linter with personality: paste in a chunk of JavaScript and it scans for common code smells (var instead of let/const, loose == instead of ===, leftover console.logs, missing semicolons, suspiciously long lines) using regular expressions, then delivers the verdict in a deliberately snarky tone. It's not actually understanding your code's logic -- it's pattern-matching text, exactly like a real linter's simplest rules do.
