What I built

Job searching scatters information across browser tabs, documents, messages, and spreadsheets. I built Gimme Job to connect those steps while keeping the distinction between a saved opportunity, a prepared application, and a confirmed submission visible.

Engineering decisions

Evidence before a success state: Application records distinguish preparation, uncertainty, and verified submission. The desktop workflow checks entered values and résumé attachments against the source information before recording the result.
Automation with an explicit boundary: Runs have limits on time, steps, applications, and token use. Stopping a run revokes browser dispatch before saving its state, and an interrupted run does not silently resume on restart.
Recoverable local history: The desktop companion uses SQLite, encrypted personal payloads, and backups before migrations. Résumé tailoring creates a separate revision so the original experience and earlier application history remain available.
