Really neat app! A button that says "instantly" and actually does the thing instantly already makes this better than every alternative! ;)

Maybe just an idea I think would be worth charging for to offset costs on yourself: if you could get a few accounts on different recruiting software packs (BambooHR, smartrecruiters, etc) and then let users test their resume with different recruiting software's AI filtering tools, that could help a ton of people. You'd have to make a lot of different job descriptions/postings in each one, but you could probably craft them all generically enough to fit most careers.

Once that's going, maybe a pay-per-use fee to test your resume that gives the paying user a couple unique recruiting links to a few job postings, and then use playwright or something to capture screenshots of their profile in the backend(s).



Thank you! I appreciate the kind words.

I like your idea, but its hard to implement due to privacy concerns and could violate the ToS of these platforms (for sharing the account).

But I do have a feature in mind to do something similar. My plan is to always keep it free, with any feature, but I have to think of monetisation. Right now, it would be charging employers/job boards instead of job seekers. I've been there, the job search is stressful enough to add financial burdens.
