SaaS
CV Builder Monorepo
A freemium SaaS for ATS-friendly resumes. Web, mobile, and shared logic in one pnpm monorepo. PDF export, share links, AI suggestions, Stripe at the gate.

How it came together
The setup
Job seekers were paying for resume builders that produced PDFs the ATS could not parse. The app market needed a tool engineered for the parser, not the eye.
The challenge
Run web, mobile, and shared logic out of one repo without the cross-platform tax that usually kills monorepos.
Scale
Web + mobile clients sharing a single Supabase backend, with paid quotas via Stripe.
The hard parts
Non-negotiables
- ATS-friendly PDFs, not just pretty PDFs
- Free tier real enough to convert, not so generous it bleeds
- Share links public-readable, edits private
Trade-offs we made
- Stripe-only billing. Added Apple/Google IAP later. Faster ship, smaller TAM on day one.
- AI suggestions ship as a paid feature from day one. Free tier stays focused on the editor.
Calls I made
Shared schema package
Resume types, validators, and parsers live in a shared package. Web and mobile import the same Zod schemas.
RLS for share links
Public-readable share links are a Supabase RLS policy, not an application-layer check. One source of truth for access.
