Sorry to hear about the layoff, but building this to solve your own problem is the perfect hacker mindset. I'm not a Staff Engineer, but I heavily rely on AI like Gemini for my own personal projects, so I really appreciate that you offer Gemini Pro in your app. Keeping PII strictly on-device is also a huge trust-builder for a resume tool. Good luck with the job hunt and the app!

Thanks for the kind words, shintomura!

That "hacker mindset" is really what kept me sane during the first few weeks post-layoff. You’re spot on about the privacy—handling resumes means handling very personal data, so keeping PII on-device was a non-negotiable for me from day one.

Glad to hear you're a Gemini fan too. I chose Gemini Pro specifically because the context window and speed made the resume tailoring much more accurate compared to other models I benchmarked.

Really appreciate the support, and good luck with your own personal projects!
