Watch some of the mars rover videos and it becomes clear how frustrating it must be for the scientists on earth to do research on mars remotely.
If you have those skills then work towards selling yourself better.
Believe in yourself!
It is the job of the writer to write for the audience, not include every single detail, no?
Shipped code is so much more valuable than unshipped code :-)
You can use most any bluetooth or USB keyboard with the iPad. I use a Code keyboard with cherry switches connected to my iPad via USB if I am doing anything serious. Just need the little Camera -> Lighting adapter.
Web apps: ReactJS on s3 hitting NodeJS API on AWS EB.
1. RE: position specific help. This is definitely a goal. I want to use the job posting you are applying for and leverage that to guide you throughout the process. And really I want to make the "A.I." much more intelligent over time.
2. RE: Visual cue on landing page. Easy fix. Will push that out later today.
3. RE: why sign up if free. An earlier prototype actually didn't have any sort of signup but proved too limited or difficult when in came to sharing, revising your resumes, or owning multiple resumes. It is all for the users benefit. You should be creating multiple resumes. You should be improving your resumes over time. Resumes are living breathing documents that evolve as you do. A nice bonus of having accounts now is resumes can be shared via URL to be viewed.
3.b RE: free. I feel it is unethical to charge people money to help them get out of unemployment or underemployment. This is a project for me to give back to society since so much of my paid work is automating jobs away. Helping people break the cycle of underemployment is important to me. It is, in some ways, more devastating than unemployment.
4. RE: storage and usage. The data is stored in a PostgreSQL database on AWS. I will try to make this more clear. I use the data to make the service better (better AI, better design, better guides, etc). Seeing how people write their resume using the tool helps me write better guiding AI so the user gets a better resume at the end.
Again, thank you so much for writing your feedback. The more feedback I can get the better I can help people get the resume they need to break the cycle.
