Hi HN! I built IDoThis, a CV builder that focuses on simplicity and real-time editing.

Tech stack: - Laravel 12 + Livewire 3.x for reactive components - Alpine.js for lightweight interactivity - Browsershot/Puppeteer for accurate PDF generation - Stripe for subscriptions via Laravel Cashier - Tailwind CSS for styling

Key features: - Real-time preview as you type (Livewire + Alpine.js) - 4 professional templates (ATS-friendly) - Public CV sharing with SEO-friendly URLs - Free tier: 3 CVs, paid tier: $9/mo for unlimited + PDF export

What makes it different: - The entire real-time experience uses Livewire + Alpine.js (no React/Vue) - Split-view interface updates instantly - PDF export matches preview exactly (Browsershot renders actual HTML/CSS) - Minimal JavaScript footprint - Alpine.js handles interactions elegantly

Would love feedback on: - The pricing model (is $9/mo fair?) - UI/UX improvements - Feature requests for job seekers

P.S: I'm a js developer with minimal to none php/laravel experience.But i must say that Laravel and the Laravel ecosystem is a breath of fresh air!!!
