The problem
If you’re a developer, your best proof often isn’t your job title—it’s your repos: side projects, open source, coursework, experiments. But recruiters still ask for a resume, and turning “I shipped this” into tight, outcome-focused bullets is slow, repetitive work.
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) add another layer: formatting and keywords matter, even when your GitHub graph looks great.
What GitLanded is
GitLanded is an AI-assisted resume builder focused on a workflow developers actually have:
- Connect GitHub
- State the target role
- Ai finds the most relevant repos for target-role
- Turn that work into clear, professional project sections
- Tune the wording for each role
- Export PDF (and DOCX on premium) when you’re ready to apply
The goal isn’t to replace your judgment—it’s to remove the blank page and help you phrase real work in a way both humans and ATS parsers can understand.
How the AI part fits in
GitLanded uses AI to draft and improve descriptions from project context (for example README content and related signals). You should always edit: add metrics, correct scope, align tech stacks to the job description, and keep everything truthful.
Think of it as a strong first draft plus optimization tools—not autopilot.
Who it’s for
- Students and new grads with projects but thin “traditional” experience
- Self-taught devs and career switchers
- Anyone applying at volume who needs faster iteration
If your GitHub is more representative of your skills than your last job bullet, this product is aimed at you.
The stack (high level)
The app is a modern React + TypeScript frontend (Vite, Tailwind, component UI), with Supabase for auth/data and serverless functions 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.
(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.)
What I’d love from the dev.to community
- What’s missing in most “resume builder” products for developers specifically?
- How do you turn repos into resume bullets today—manual, templates, LLM, something else?
- What would make you trust a tool like this: open-source core, privacy guarantees, local export only, something else?
Try it
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.
