Hey y'all! I've been working on Savviest for over a year now and finally got to a point where I wanted to share it with the world. It's been a passion project so far, but I hope to take it full time some day.

Any comments about the landing pages or the site itself would be SO helpful! What does it take to go from something your friends and family use and love to a viable product that supports itself?

When the site says it's free forever and you say you're trying to make it into a full time job there is something you're not telling us about our data and your monetization plans.

Hmm that's a good point, I can see why that's confusing. My thought was that access to the "Free" plan would always be available, and that you could use all of Savviest's core features for free no matter what.

Then those users who wanted more resumes/cover letters/downloads/etc. could upgrade to a paid plan, which is where the monetization would come in.

I'll update the language around "Free Forever" though since you're right that makes it sound like we're trying to monetize user data or something similar.
