RocketResume.me

Inspiration

Most resume builders claim to be "free," but eventually charge users at the download stage or lock features behind subscriptions. RocketResume.me was born from a desire to create an honest, fast, and free platform — especially for job seekers from all backgrounds, including those just starting out.

What it does

RocketResume.me is a modern resume builder that allows users to:

• Sign up and save multiple resumes under one account
• Create multiple resume versions for different jobs
• Share resumes with a public link for online access
• Generate a professional bio with AI (OpenAI) based on user input
• Export resumes as polished PDF documents

How we built it

• Backend & Database: Supabase for user authentication and secure data storage
• AI Integration: OpenAI API to generate bios
• Hosting: Netlify
• Domain: IONOS

Challenges we ran into

• Designing a user experience that supports versioning without complexity
• Keeping the app fast and responsive while securely saving user data
• Fine-tuning AI-generated bios to sound natural and relevant
• Implementing a public resume-sharing feature that remains secure

Accomplishments that we're proud of

• Successfully launched a fully working web app during the hackathon
• Secure and scalable resume storage via Supabase
• Seamless integration of AI-powered bio generation
• Public link sharing feature that makes resumes easy to distribute

What we learned

• How to use Supabase effectively for auth and real-time data
• Optimizing PDF export without server-side processing
• AI integration (OpenAI) can dramatically boost value and user experience
• Simplified design improves accessibility and user retention
