Interview Prep Buddy - Helping my friend prepare for his next job switch 🤫

·2 views

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Weekend Challenge: Build for a Friend I built Interview Prep Buddy, a privacy‑first web app that helps my friend prepare for job interviews. The tool lets them upload their resume and paste a job description, then generates commonly asked interview questions tailored to their skills and experience. It also highlights strengths and gaps in the resume for that specific role, so they can prepare compensating answers. The app goes further with a mock interview mode: an AI voice asks questions, the user responds via speech, and the system scores their answ

Reliable FastAPI Realtime Access with Short-Lived Tokens for Marketplace Boards

A marketplace operator can still have the board open while a credential is being refreshed, and a dropped transport can make a connected user look present after the user has gone. Treating tho

Mocking APIs for frontend development: MSW vs Prism vs spec-driven mocks

Frontend teams have three mocking jobs that blur together until a release goes wrong: developing against an API that does not exist yet, component and integration tests that must not hit the network, and full-journey verification against a running service. Each job has a tool that fits it, and most pain comes from using one tool for all three. This compares MSW (Mock Service Worker), Stoplight Prism, and spec-driven mocks from an OpenAPI workspace, then shows the combination that avoids fixture sprawl. MSW intercepts requests at the network layer using a Service Worker in the browser and a req

Four Marketplaces, One Listing Workflow: What Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify Expect From Your Copy

If you sell on more than one marketplace, you already know the copy you write for Amazon doesn't survive a trip to Etsy. Same product, different rules — and the rules are not cosmetic. I build listing tools for a living, and here's the cheat sheet I wish someone had handed me before I rewrote the same SKU four times. Amazon — Titles get truncated hard on mobile, and Rufus surfaces content that answers buyer questions directly. Front-load the searchable keywords; save the adjectives.
