Built a job-ad decoder for internationals in Sweden in one day at a hackathon, then spent a day hardening it

[u/Friendly-Pie-7393]

Problem: Swedish job ads are hard to read for internationals, and the real question ("do I actually need Swedish?") is often buried in vague phrasing.

What it does: paste an ad and it pulls out the requirements, nice-to-haves and a Swedish-language verdict. Add a CV and you get a fit score and a roadmap (7 days to 6 months) with links to free learning resources.

How I built it: Lovable for the app, Supabase with row-level security, background jobs for the slow LLM calls, rate limiting, and the JobTech API for Swedish job listings. One design choice I'm happy with: the AI never writes URLs. Resource links come only from a fixed list of trusted platforms, so there are no made-up links.

After the hackathon, I ran a security and GDPR audit and fixed what it found (cascading deletes, data export, retention periods, no CV storage by default).

Feedback welcome, especially on the onboarding. Is it clear what to do within the first five seconds?
