Hi HN! I built IDoThis, a CV builder that focuses on simplicity and real-time editing.
Tech stack:
- Laravel 12 + Livewire 3.x for reactive components
- Alpine.js for lightweight interactivity
- Browsershot/Puppeteer for accurate PDF generation
- Stripe for subscriptions via Laravel Cashier
- Tailwind CSS for styling
Key features:
- Real-time preview as you type (Livewire + Alpine.js)
- 4 professional templates (ATS-friendly)
- Public CV sharing with SEO-friendly URLs
- Free tier: 3 CVs, paid tier: $9/mo for unlimited + PDF export
What makes it different:
- The entire real-time experience uses Livewire + Alpine.js (no React/Vue)
- Split-view interface updates instantly
- PDF export matches preview exactly (Browsershot renders actual HTML/CSS)
- Minimal JavaScript footprint - Alpine.js handles interactions elegantly
Would love feedback on:
- The pricing model (is $9/mo fair?)
- UI/UX improvements
- Feature requests for job seekers
P.S: I'm a js developer with minimal to none php/laravel experience.But i must say that Laravel and the Laravel ecosystem is a breath of fresh air!!!
