I wanted to create something:</p> <ul> <li>Free and frictionless</li> <li>ATS-optimized</li> <li>Powered by modern, open tools</li> </ul> <h3> 🛠️ Tech Stack </h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Frontend</strong>: Next.js (TypeScript), CSS Modules</li> <li> <strong>Backend</strong>: FastAPI (Python)</li> <li> <strong>PDF Handling</strong>: PDF.js for extraction, LibreOffice for conversion</li> <li> <strong>Deployment</strong>: Firebase Hosting + Google Cloud Run</li> </ul> <h3> 🔍 Key Features </h3> <ul> <li>Upload your resume (PDF, DOCX, or even an image)</li> <li>Extract content and restructure it</li> <li>Use AI to rewrite summaries, work experiences, and skills</li> <li>Match your resume to a job description for better relevance</li> <li>Choose from modern/classic templates</li> <li>Export as PDF or DOCX</li> </ul> <p>👉 Try it here: <a href="https://resumeeditorai.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://resumeeditorai.com</a></p> <h3> 💡 Lessons Learned </h3> <ul> <li>Integrating PDF.js for frontend extraction was surprisingly smooth</li> <li>LibreOffice + Docker is a strong solution for converting DOCX → PDF</li> <li>Next.js static export (<code>output: export</code>) simplifies Firebase Hosting setup</li> <li>AI-powered matching helps users tailor resumes with minimal effort</li> </ul> <h3> 🎯 Next Steps </h3> <ul> <li>Improve formatting options and template customization</li> <li>Add more AI-based rewrite modes (concise, formal, etc.)</li> <li>Open-source some of the utility components if there's interest</li> </ul> <p>Thanks for reading!
