coverlettergpt VS papermark

Also, my first simple SaaS app, CoverLetterGPT.xyz, which I launched in March 2023, currently has 83 customers and makes $434 per month! Nothing crazy, but something I’m still proud of. (Btw, if you want to check out how I built it, it’s open-source!)

Open SaaS is still very new, but there are a couple that used the "old" version of it, which basically gave us an idea for Open SaaS. For example:

- CoverLetterGPT (https://coverlettergpt.xyz/) - generate a cover letter based on your CV and job description

- Etsy description generator (this one even got acquired): https://dev.to/wasp/from-idea-to-exit-building-and-selling-a...

AI is making new app ideas possible, which is partly why we’re seeing a resurgence in developer interest in creating SaaS apps. As I mentioned above, the first SaaS app I built, CoverLetterGPT, is one of those “GPT Wrappers”, and I’m proud to say it makes a nice passive income of ~$350 MRR (monthly recurring revenue).

CoverLetterGPT - the perfect starting spot for an AI-powered SaaS

Below, I’m going to share with you how I built it (yes, it’s open-source!), how I marketed and monetized it, along with a bunch of helpful resources to help you build your own profitable side-project.

If you’re interested in building something similar, I would recommend checking a related tool: CoverLetterGPT.

Hey there. I launched https://CoverLetterGPT.xyz to help people on their job search. It generates unique cover letters based on your resume/cv and the job description and allows you to further revise and manage them.

Simple AI assistant for documents made open source

Can be used for your docs or also for shared documents.

It is currently a part of Papermark, open source Docsend alternative for sharing docs quickly and getting analytics on each page.

Thinking on investing more time in it, and building more advanced work with many docs.

Caveat: this serverless implementation only works with files smaller than 4MB. If you need to upload larger files, you'll want to use a client-side upload (see more on GitHub).

Papermark has recently been getting a lot of love from the community, especially for its clean design and intuitive interface. Although it might look simple from the outside, this app packs a lot of functionalities that make everything work smoothly: file upload, email sending, built-in analytics, and custom domains…

I would be grateful if you could give us a star! Don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments section ❤️ https://github.com/mfts/papermark

Papermark - Open Source Alternative to Docsend

Check out the code and setup: https://github.com/mfts/papermark and how to get started: https://www.papermark.io/share-notion-page

Hi HN! We’re Marc and Iuliia from Papermark (https://papermark.io). We're building an open-source, modern document sharing platform with real-time engagement analytics and 100% customization.

It all started as a tweet [1] and led to our launch on Product Hunt [2] last month. We crossed over 1000 stars and over 10 contributors on GitHub (https://github.com/mfts/papermark).

Incumbents, like DocSend, founded in the early 2010s have been acquired already and just don't innovate anymore. Their main priority is enterprise clients.

As founders and developers ourselves we always felt that our needs are not being served. We struggle to get actionable insights when sending pitch decks to investors or sales proposals to customers. We are missing the flexibility and integrations with our existing applications and tech stack.

That’s why we are building Papermark.

Our bigger vision

A developer-friendly document sharing platform doesn’t exist yet! We believe that document analytics should be available to anyone that is creating and sharing documents.

- Rich observability: Don’t get left in the dark when sharing a document. Papermark will provide full transparency by exposing all document-related events through webhooks.
