I open-sourced CoverLetterGPT.xyz – 900 users, feat. on indiehackers
Hey HN peeps! I've been working on coverlettergpt.xyz for the past few weeks. It was recently featured in the IndieHackers newsletter[0] and is just shy of 900 users. You can use it to generate cover letters by copy & pasting the job description, uploading your CV/résumé, and changing a few settings. The app will then generate cover letters for you, which you can further edit with GPT. You can also manage your jobs, create multiple cover letters per job, and other fun stuff. I'm honestly quite surprised at the response to it, as it's "yet another GPT wrapper," but I've built in some…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN peeps! I've been working on coverlettergpt.xyz for the past few weeks. It was recently featured in the IndieHackers newsletter[0] and is just shy of 900 users. You can use it to generate cover letters by copy & pasting the job description, uploading your CV/résumé, and changing a few settings. The app will then generate cover letters for you, which you can further edit with GPT. You can also manage your jobs, create multiple cover letters per job, and other fun stuff. I'm honestly quite surprised at the response to it, as it's "yet another GPT wrapper," but I've built in some features that seem to be resonating with job-seekers, e.g.: - upload and parsing of pdf résumé/CV - management of multiple jobs and cover letters per job - "creativity" controls for GPT's output - further GPT revisions via selecting text and "editing-in-place" The fact that I open-sourced[1] it seems to have also driven a lot of traffic to the site. I always intended to do so, as I saw it more as a fun learning project rather than a profitable side-project, but it has pulled in just over $100 of revenue since launching last month. I built the entire app using Wasp[2] as the full-stack framework (think Ruby-on-Rails for the PERN stack), with the OpenAI API of course, payments with Stripe, emails with SendGrid, and Chakra-UI[3] as the design system. I was able to build the MVP within 3 days, mostly thanks to the speed of development that Wasp and Chakra enabled. It's been fun learning and building a fullstack "side-project" that generates revenue. There are a lot of things I tackled for the first time here, so it is a bit rough around certain edges, but I hope some of you will find it interesting and learn something from it as well.

I've been working on an app in my spare time for about the past 6 months in between my day job and taking care of my 10 month old daughter. I'm launching a beta today and would love to get the communities feedback. It's called Pagify and it's an app that allows you to build custom Facebook tabs using their new iframe method. I'm quite proud of the fact that I actually got this out the door. This past year my life has been quite hectic. Let me know your thoughts and give me a "Like" if so inclined :).

- IBI built didtheyghost.me, open-source tool for your next job search2025 · didtheyghost.me · ▲66
(not sure why my previous post didn't appear on Show HN even though I included it in the title, mods please remove if not allowed) Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies just go silent instead of sending rejection emails, leaving you guessing whether to keep waiting or move on. I faced this frustration during my own internship search, especially when there was no real point of contact (automated replies don't count, lol). So, I built didtheyghost.me, a simple open-source tool that crowdsources job application responses. This isn't a job scraper or another job board. It's…
- GAGenerate a Cover Letter by Pasting the Job Post and Your Resume2023 · careered.ai · ▲18
Introducing my new AI-powered tool that generates personalized cover letters in seconds! It's powered by GPT-3 and all you need to do is upload the job post and your resume, and the tool uses the language model to analyze and match the keywords and requirements from the job post with your skills and experience. The generated letter can be further customized, and you can create multiple letters quickly and easily. It's still pretty bare-bones so I'm thinking of ways to make this better. I'd appreciate any feedback! Let me know what you think.

Creative and Innovative 3.3. Enthusiastic and Energetic That's it, you get a tailored cover letter which is stored online and can be edited at any time. We believe in a freemium approach, for which only users with extensive usage would…

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…

Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a…
