A new type of tool so you don't have to stress out over job apps
The idea is actually quite simple - as a coder watching my pregnant girlfriend spend hours reading job descriptions and researching companies while job searching over the past few months, I thought there should be an app that reads the job description and researches the company like a human would from a job URL to write personalized cover letters + resume tips to modify your resume. So I made one - it uses advanced browser automation (like Manus), and you can actually watch the AI in real-time as it researches. For anyone interested, you can check it out at --> trylockedin.app and let me…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
The idea is actually quite simple - as a coder watching my pregnant girlfriend spend hours reading job descriptions and researching companies while job searching over the past few months, I thought there should be an app that reads the job description and researches the company like a human would from a job URL to write personalized cover letters + resume tips to modify your resume. So I made one - it uses advanced browser automation (like Manus), and you can actually watch the AI in real-time as it researches. For anyone interested, you can check it out at --> trylockedin.app and let me know what you think! It's intuitive and there's no complicated setup, so anyone can just paste a job URL and see how it works.

- IBI built a tool to auto-tailor resumes to job posts2025 · useresume.ai · ▲17
Hi HN, I got frustrated with the time-consuming process of tailoring resumes and cover letters for job applications. Even using ChatGPT, it was taking me about 10 minutes per application just to prompt and copy-paste everything into Word. I found myself only customizing applications for roles I was really excited about, which wasn't ideal. So I worked really hard and built useResume to solve two problems: helping me stand out with every application, and eliminating the Word document workflow. I've been using it myself for all my latest applications and I hope it can help you too. I'd love to…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
