But recruiters still ask for a <strong>resume</strong>, and turning “I shipped this” into tight, outcome-focused bullets is slow, repetitive work.</p> <p>Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) add another layer: formatting and keywords matter, even when your GitHub graph looks great.</p> <h2> What GitLanded is </h2> <p><strong>GitLanded</strong> is an AI-assisted resume builder focused on a workflow developers actually have:</p> <ol> <li>Connect <strong>GitHub</strong> </li> <li>State the target role</li> <li>Ai finds the most relevant repos for target-role</li> <li>Turn that work into <strong>clear, professional project sections</strong> </li> <li>Tune the wording for each role</li> <li>Export <strong>PDF</strong> (and <strong>DOCX</strong> on premium) when you’re ready to apply</li> </ol> <p>The goal isn’t to replace your judgment—it’s to <strong>remove the blank page</strong> and help you phrase real work in a way both humans and ATS parsers can understand.</p> <h2> How the AI part fits in </h2> <p>GitLanded uses AI to draft and improve descriptions from project context (for example README content and related signals). You should <strong>always edit</strong>: add metrics, correct scope, align tech stacks to the job description, and keep everything truthful.</p> <p>Think of it as a strong first draft plus optimization tools—not autopilot.</p> <h2> Who it’s for </h2> <ul> <li>Students and new grads with projects but thin “traditional” experience </li> <li>Self-taught devs and career switchers </li> <li>Anyone applying at volume who needs faster iteration </li> </ul> <p>If your GitHub is more representative of your skills than your last job bullet, this product is aimed at you.</p> <h2> The stack (high level) </h2> <p>The app is a modern <strong>React + TypeScript</strong> frontend (Vite, Tailwind, component UI), with <strong>Supabase</strong> for auth/data and <strong>serverless functions</strong> for things like payments and AI-powered features—typical for a product that needs auth, persistence, and safe server-side work without running your own backend fleet.</p> <p>(If you want to go deeper in a follow-up post, you can break down one feature end-to-end—OAuth, prompt boundaries, export pipelines, etc.)</p> <h2> What I’d love from the dev.to community </h2> <ul> <li>What’s missing in most “resume builder” products for <strong>developers</strong> specifically? </li> <li>How do you turn repos into resume bullets today—manual, templates, LLM, something else? </li> <li>What would make you trust a tool like this: open-source core, privacy guarantees, local export only, something else?</li> </ul> <h2> Try it </h2> <p>If this sounds useful, try GitLanded and tell me what broke, what felt magical, and what felt wrong. Product feedback from real job searches is the best signal.</p> <p><strong>→ <a href="https://www.gitland.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.gitland.com</a></strong></p> <p><em>Disclaimer: I’m building GitLanded.
