This is brilliant! 🚀 Solving the desperate 2 AM resume grind is a huge win.
​Resumify is the ultimate career sidekick: it tailors the resume, writes the email, and takes all the stress out of applying. Making it so secure and easy with Auth0 is the cherry on top. Great work! 🔥

I always wonder, how do you guys end up with such interesting and good-looking projects? How do you know how to make them? I usually end up with something easy or repetitive, something which will be my 'comfort app,' and even then I don't always get those projects done. Seriously, coach me! :D

For me, it’s kind of random. Sometimes I look up how to do something and there’s no solution online — so I just try building it myself. Other times, the solution already exists but it’s behind a paywall, and that developer ego kicks in: “I can make this too!” 😄

That’s honestly why I have 100+ unfinished folders sitting around — I either lose interest or realize it’s bigger than I thought.

What has helped me is not starting completely from scratch every time. If you have a clear idea of what you’re building, break it down and search for smaller parts you can reuse. You’ll usually find at least one similar project or component that you can take as a starting point and then build around. That approach works for me most of the time.

For example, in this project I reused a lot from the Auth0 sample app — token exchange, OAuth setup, etc. That gave me momentum and helped me actually finish. To be honest, my original idea was totally different, and when I tried starting from zero… yeah, that didn’t go well. 😅
