I'm Gene, a solo developer, and I'm launching SmartRolePath here soon. Before I do, I wanted to share the story and get your thoughts, since this community has shaped a lot of how I think about building in public.
A little over a month ago, I started building this after watching too many friends get laid off and freeze. Not because they weren't capable, but because they had no idea what their next move should actually be. The advice out there was either too generic ("just network more!") or too expensive (career coaching most people can't justify right after losing income).
SmartRolePath uses AI to analyze your background and generate personalized career transition roadmaps aligned with real job market data. Get phased action steps, timeline projections, salary insights, and curated learning resources all tailored to you. Integrates live job postings from 4 APIs. Free tier includes a full career analysis and roadmap. Pro unlocks unlimited analyses, PDF export, and more. Built by a solo dev to help anyone navigate career change without expensive coaching.
