LockedIn
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…

Instant Job Cover Letters with AI2023 · coverletterai.app · ▲91Speed up your job applications by 10x, just drop a resume
Generate a Cover Letter by Pasting the Job Post and Your Resume2023 · careered.ai · ▲18Introducing 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.

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…
