How I Built a Contract Analysis Tool as a Solo Developer

---

What EasyContract does

You upload a PDF or DOCX contract, and the system breaks it down clause by clause:

• Risk scoring for each clause (low / medium / high / critical)
• Plain-language explanations of legal jargon
• Suggested rewrites for risky clauses
• Shareable report you can send to the other party

Tech stack

• Backend: Laravel + PostgreSQL
• Frontend: Vue 3 + Inertia.js + Tailwind CSS
• Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, RDS, S3), Docker
• Payments: LemonSqueezy

How it works

1. User uploads a contract (PDF or DOCX)
2. The system extracts the text and splits it into clauses
3. Each clause gets analyzed for risk factors
4. Results are displayed in an interactive report with explanations

Try it

You can analyze a contract without creating an account: easy-contract.app/try

I'd love to hear feedback from other developers — what would you add or change?
