I built this tool to survive. Reddit banned me for sharing it. Hey Product Hunt, I’m, the builder behind Resumefy. Last week, I launched the first version of this tool on Reddit. It went viral (#1 trending) because I exposed a technical truth that HR tech companies are terrified of: Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are deleting qualified candidates because of formatting bugs. Then, Reddit permanently banned my account for "exposing parsing secrets." That’s when I knew I had to launch this here. The Problem: The "Black Hole" is Real I spent months applying to jobs. I had the skills, but I was getting 0 calls. I thought I was the problem. I wasn't. The PDF was the problem. I dug into the backend of major ATS platforms (Workday/Taleo) and found horror stories: 🔴 The Icon Bug: If you use a cute icon for your email/phone, the parser often reads it as an image and sets your contact info to NULL. You aren't rejected; you are deleted. 🔴 The Ligature Trap: Standard PDF exporters merge letters like "fi" (in Proficient). The robot reads "Pro cient"—a typo. You fail the keyword match instantly. The Solution: Stop Building. Start Compiling. Resumefy is NOT a Resume Builder. Builders drag-and-drop pixels. Resumefy is a Resume Compiler. We treat your career as a clean JSON object (Single Source of Truth). We then compile that data into a strict, machine-readable PDF that forces the ATS to parse you correctly. 100% Parsing Integrity: No invisible text boxes. No broken ligatures. JSON-First Architecture: Maintain one master profile, compile infinite versions for different jobs in seconds. The Pivot: Why I Killed the Subscription Until yesterday, this was a $12/month SaaS. I realized that charging unemployed people a monthly rent is predatory. If you are looking for work, you don't need another bill bleeding your runway. Today, I am killing the subscription. For the Product Hunt launch, I am introducing the "Founder's Lifetime License." Price: $39 (One-time payment). Deal: You own the compiler forever. Use it now. Use it for your next job search in 2 years. We are not HR Tech. We are the Resistance against the Black Hole. Let me know what you think in the comments. I’m here all day (unless I get banned again). 🫡
