CV Builder Monorepo.

A freemium SaaS for ATS-friendly resumes. Web, mobile, and shared logic in one pnpm monorepo. PDF export, share links, AI suggestions, Stripe at the gate.

Built at: TechnicalBind
Scale: Web + mobile clients sharing a single Supabase backend, with paid quotas via Stripe.
Category: SaaS

Apps, 1 Repo: 3
ATS Parseable: 100%

Context

Job seekers were paying for resume builders that produced PDFs an ATS could not parse. The product needed to be engineered for the parser as well as the reader.

Challenge

Run web, mobile, and shared logic in one repository without the cross-platform overhead that typically affects monorepos.

Non-negotiables

ATS-parseable PDFs
A free tier that converts without giving away the product
Share links public-readable, edits private

Calls I made

01
Shared schema package
Resume types, validators, and parsers live in a shared package. Web and mobile import the same Zod schemas.
02
RLS for share links
Public-readable share links are a Supabase RLS policy rather than an application-layer check. One source of truth for access.

Trade-offs accepted

Stripe-only billing in v1. Apple/Google IAP planned for later. Faster ship, smaller addressable market on day one.
AI suggestions are paid from day one. The free tier focuses on the editor.

Outcome

One codebase ships an ATS-friendly editor on web and mobile, with paid features gated cleanly.
