Building a Client-Side ATS Resume Analyzer with Next.js 14 and TypeScript

Hey everyone! 👋

I recently built ResumeAI, a tool designed to help job seekers quickly analyze their resumes and ensure ATS compatibility—all right from the client side using Next.js 14, TypeScript, and pdfjs-dist.

Most resume checkers either charge heavy subscription fees or send your sensitive data to unknown servers. I wanted to build a fast, privacy-friendly tool where users can evaluate their CVs against job description keywords seamlessly.
