    API that powers FreeResumeScanner.com

    I first encountered Wails v1 in a hackathon. I had a lot of fun building a DevOps GitHub Admin Desktop App for doing things such as bulk user removal, bulk branch protections, and more. The project was taking an existing CLI and giving it a GUI. Much like what we will be doing in this article with FreeResumeScanner.com, a single-page web application powered by a lambda for the backend,which is sort of like a CLI.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

    I am choosing to use Svelte for this project because I find it a simple and relatively light programming language. The basic paradigm of Svelte is that it compiles plain vanilla JS, and then the code calls it as needed. This helps reduce the final project size and keep things simple compared to using React.js for this project. Although React is excellent, once you know it it can take considerable time and effort to get productive. You could also use plain JS, which is also simpler than React.
