Roast my micro SaaS - NextCV, AI-powered CV tailoring

I built NextCV over 6 months as a solo dev. It takes a job description and generates a tailored CV + cover letter + interview prep using your existing background.

Business model: free watermarked output, then credit packs ($3/$9/$19). No subscription.

3 paying customers found it organically before I did any marketing. Just launched on Product Hunt today.

Give me your honest take:

  • Does the landing page convince you to try it?
  • Is the pricing too high / too low / confusing?
  • What would stop you from using it?

Don't hold back.

Solo dev, got 3 sales before I even launched — here's what I built

I hadn't posted anywhere. No ads, no Twitter, no Reddit. Just a live site. And

somehow 3 people found NextCV and paid before I even launched on Product Hunt

today.

Still no idea how they found me. If you're one of them, seriously, DM me, I want

to buy you a coffee.

Anyway, here's what I built over 6 months solo:

NextCV generates tailored CVs and cover letters from any job description. The

problem it solves: people send the same generic CV to 200 jobs and get ghosted. The

fix is tailoring, but that takes 45 min per application. NextCV does it in 30

seconds.

Built with Next.js and AI

Business model: free watermarked output, then credit packs ($3/$9/$19). No

subscription.

Question for other solo founders: did you get any sales before your official

launch? How did people even find you?

Not getting any Interviews? Your CVs are not tailored!

Every job search guide says "tailor your CV to each role." But when you're applying

to 20+ jobs, that's 15 hours of tweaking bullet points. And generic CVs don't get

callbacks.

I built NextCV to fix this. You paste the job description, it reads what the role actually

needs, and restructures your experience to match.

How it works:

  1. Fill in your background once

  2. Paste any job description in the field

  3. Get a tailored CV + cover letter + interview prep in ~30 seconds

It's not a template — it's your real experience, highlighted and structured

differently for each application. ATS-friendly PDF output in English, Swedish &

French.

Free to try (no card needed), pay per clean document (no watermarks) after.
No subscription.

I have to push mongo :(

Yo guys,
I learned skating when I was 12-13 y/o but I learned the wrong way pushing mongo as a regular meaning having my right foot and pushing with the left one… now I’m 38 and starting to skate again… though I never could Ollie so I’m really more of a chill cruiser…

I realized that I have to try to unlearn this bad habit but honestly when I’m trying to push the right way I’m so so freaking bad… it feels wrong and feels like I’ll never be as comfortable with it as I am with pushing mongo…
Anyone had the same experience? Any tips would be appreciated!

Cheers!!
