Could you build this?
Yes It wraps Google Gemini for posts, messages, and cover letters, with browser-based PDF tools using WASM libraries, all standard for a solo builder.
What it would actually take: The stack is a web frontend with LLM API calls for generation, template-based resume and cover-letter builders, and client-side PDF handling with WASM libraries. Little proprietary data is needed, so the main work is prompt design and UX.
