I’ve gone old school. After reviewing a few people’s CV’s the easiest format was for me to record a video with the feedback, so I put a site together for that:

https://resume.fail/

No AI, you just buy my time.

I’m also looking to do a couple freebies if anyone wants to anonymise their CV and let me use it for a promo example.

I like the path options.

Is this US focused or also applicable to UK/EU people?

Thanks. I’m based in the UK so have a good grasp on that, but I’ve reviewed someone’s resume from the US just as easily. Generally, English speaking and preferably in a digital related field, but a lot of the common pain points seem to be universal. It’s only difficult when it’s a field that’s highly niche as hard to know what’s common knowledge.

I like to play the role of the person doing the hiring, hence why the form asks for an example job description.

Interesting, the impression I got from the site was that this is US specific (dollar currency) and not that you're based in the UK.

I'll keep your site in mind if needed, I think the video response is a key selling point, great idea.

Thanks, and great feedback about the use of dollars!

Recently launched an AI cafe ordering app https://www.hellocafe.ai using chat and voice.

We wanted to make concept for an app using all local models for chat (llama 3.1 8B) and voice (whisper). Deployed using kubernetes and easily scalable not to mention fully open source!

I'm building a scraper in Golang based on Colly to do two things:

* Automatically train the scraper on the structure of the page to acquire the data you want, and

* Clean and structure the data into a format suitable to go into a relational database

I got sick of doing all that manually for some pricing data I wanted to monitor on some suppliers sites, and I've always wanted to contribute more to open source and give back.

Working on a desktop app that lets you ask questions on your data files like csv, json, parquet and excel in plain english without incurring heavy LLM costs.

Launched a new plan as well that gives unlimited question-answering for just $20/month. Truly unlimited, no strings attached.

We're working on a repairable and sustainable e-bike battery that you fully own and control!

We want to get rid of "black box batteries" and move to connected, cross-compatible, and easy to repair batteries!

Check our batteries at https://infinite-battery.com :)

A filmmaker community for those wanting to showcase their work. Right now everyone's got their own squarespace and the problem is that about 0 filmmakers also want to be web masters.

IMDB? Ads everywhere. Actor's Access? Ancient.

Human first, AI optional. A great way for actors, writers, and directors to represent themselves.

Feedback welcome! -M@
