MidShip It

Resume parser with an API, but LinkedIn and standard PDFs already solve this.

Strengths
  • No-account upload flow reduces friction for initial profile creation.
  • API endpoint offers structured JSON data to bypass manual resume parsing.
Weaknesses
  • Chicken-and-egg problem: companies won't integrate API without user adoption.
  • Lacks differentiation from established platforms like LinkedIn or personal sites.

Post Description

Whenever I'm sharing my resume, my LinkedIn, or applying for a job, I've found the process of entering or editing my work experience both time-consuming and unpleasant. I've also sent out-of-date resumes on more than one occasion, and was baffled there wasn't an easier way to always have a recent one available at the click of a button.

I've built a better way to handle these pain points (I think). The goal is to onboard companies (probably startups) to use the service, but my GTM is to provide immediate value to anyone who wants to create and maintain their online portfolio/profile.

Would love to hear feedback, bugs, and/or overall impressions. Thanks!

J-RAY – A privacy-first JSON visualizer with two-way binding

Turning nested JSON into a live node graph with bidirectional edits actually pays off — double‑click a node to change a value and the raw JSON updates instantly (and vice versa). It’s entirely client‑side for privacy, generates TypeScript interfaces on the fly, and is MIT‑licensed; next steps should focus on UX and performance for massive payloads and clearer import/export flows.
