A few weeks ago, I launched Refine.tools (a local-first, anti-SaaS career toolkit) and got about 150 of you to try it. It was glorious. I felt like Mark Zuckerberg for about 12 hours.

Then everyone vanished. I assume you all instantly got jobs at FAANG companies using my tool. You're welcome.

Since reality is probably that job hunting still sucks and you just forgot about me, I spent the last few weeks building some new, slightly more aggressive features to try and win you back:

1. The Resume Roaster: Because sometimes the AI needs to stop being polite and just tell you that your objective statement sounds like it was written by a 19th-century poet. 2. STAR Story Builder: To help translate "I did stuff" into "Situation, Task, Action, Result" without staring at a blank screen for an hour. 3. Resume Examples: Because I realized giving people a blank canvas is terrifying. 4. Follow-Up Email Generator: For when you're ghosted and need to send a "just checking in" email that walks the fine line between persistent and restraining order.

It’s still 100% free, local-first (IndexedDB), and zero-tracking.

If you're still looking for a job (or just want the AI to brutally roast your PDF), I'd love for you to give the new tools a spin.

What are others that you've tried and you didn't like?

Hi there, thanks! What did you enjoy most of it? Any feature that helped you land a job yet?

Hi, great question! Honestly, because I haven't thought of it.

The whole project has begun as a side project once I had the opportunity to be a hiring manager. I saw so many resumes/CVs that were rejected 'just because', and even those that were accepted, were either hard to read/grasp, or had too much information that would make an HR person stop reading, and therefore rejecting, especially with students (as the role we opened was for an internship).

My idea was to build something for any kind of person, either tech literate or not, and to just have a one-stop shop for everything career related (which is why I won't stop with these 10 tools). At the same time, it also helped me understand how to build a project from scratch, deploy it, try and market/advertise it (which is obviously really hard), and see a good idea (in my opinion) can go to.

I have no problem sharing them, though, and fortunately the costs for me are insignificant at this point.

I built this because I was tired of career tools that harvest data. Architecture: Next.js + OpenAI. No database (LocalStorage only). Happy to answer questions about the privacy-first implementation.
