Can I vibecode Novoresume?
// one session, and a personal version you can actually use
The core loop is small enough for a capable coding agent to produce a useful local version in one sitting. For Novoresume, create one-page and multi-page resumes from structured evidence with layout constraints. The hard boundary is templates, content guidance, design polish, and reliable pdf rendering, plus data, distribution, and coaching.

The prompt
One session with a coding agent and your version runs.
Build a personal replacement for Novoresume in an empty repository.
Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, SQLite, Drizzle ORM, and an optional OpenAI API; do not offer alternative stacks.
The core loop is: create one-page and multi-page resumes from structured evidence with layout constraints, tailor them against a supplied role, and keep every claim traceable to the user's own evidence.
Make the first run work locally with one documented command.
Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward.
Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials.
Create a structured evidence bank for roles, projects, skills, dates, metrics, and source notes.
Import a job description and highlight requirements without inventing missing experience.
Generate a tailored resume variant only from approved evidence and show the source for each bullet.
Add application stages, contacts, tasks, dates, notes, documents, and a follow-up view.
Provide interview-question practice with answer notes and a self-review rubric, not deceptive live assistance.
Export resume data as JSON and PDF plus the application tracker as CSV.
Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states.
Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs.
Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path.
Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps.
Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane.
Deliberately leave out automatic mass application.
Deliberately leave out fabricated qualifications or deceptive interview assistance.
Deliberately leave out proprietary recruiter databases and guaranteed job outcomes.
Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. Prompt generated from the data on this page, not reviewed by hand yet. In English on purpose — it is the language coding agents work best in.
What you lose
- templates, content guidance, design polish, and reliable PDF rendering
- proprietary recruiter data
- job-board distribution
- human coaching
- automated application networks
Why people still pay
People still pay for Novoresume because people pay for convenience, curated guidance, and distribution; the personal tracking and drafting loop is highly buildable. The recurring cost buys document parsing, truthful claim handling, job-source changes, browser automation rules, privacy, model drift, and user review, not just the visible interface.
