The Challenge

Resume builders constantly fight a rendering problem: what users design on screen rarely matches the PDF that comes out. The goal was an editor that felt effortless (AI-assisted, drag-and-drop) that still produced a flawless, ATS-friendly PDF every single time.

The Solution

BravoResume pairs a drag-and-drop editor (dnd-kit, Zustand + Immer) with Claude-powered import: upload a PDF or DOCX and Claude parses it into structured resume JSON. The defining decision was rendering, instead of relying on the browser, resumes are sent to a dedicated Puppeteer service on a DigitalOcean droplet that renders a signed preview route to a pixel-perfect PDF. Premium templates are monetized with Stripe on top of Supabase auth.

Features

Live split-pane editor

A form on the left and a paginated, WYSIWYG resume preview on the right that updates as you type.

Drag-and-drop sections

Reorder sections and entries with dnd-kit, with the preview reflowing instantly.

AI resume import

Upload an existing PDF or DOCX; text is extracted locally, then Claude parses it into structured resume JSON.

Pixel-perfect PDF export

A Puppeteer service renders a signed preview route to an exact A4 PDF, identical every time.

Premium templates

Stripe Checkout unlocks premium templates, with purchases verified server-side before export.

Accounts & dashboard

Supabase auth with anonymous-to-account transfer and a dashboard of saved resumes and jobs.
