Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)
I decided to build Rapply based on my personal experiences as a job seeker. Throughout my journey, I faced challenges while trying to apply to various jobs efficiently. The process often involved juggling between multiple tabs, customizing cover letters, and tailoring resumes for every other job application. You all know how it is. It quickly became apparent that there had to be a better way to streamline this process and make it more manageable for job seekers like myself.
The inspiration behind Rapply came from the desire to help others who were going through the same struggles. I wanted to make a tool that makes job hunting easier and helps people apply to more jobs quickly and efficiently. This is the story behind Rapply 🚀🚀
How I built it (How did you utilize refine? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
I built Rapply using Refine, Appwrite, and Material UI. Additionally, I integrated the OpenAI API and a PDF converter.
Refine played a crucial role in simplifying the development process. Its auth and data hooks made building Rapply a breeze, allowing me to focus on solving the main problems and creating a more efficient app. I'm gonna use it in future projects as well.
I learned both Appwrite and Refine for the first time. This experience broadened my skill set, and I can now leverage these tools to build products faster and more efficiently.
Building Rapply provided me with valuable insights on building a product. By sharing regular updates and receiving feedback, I grew as both a developer and an individual.
