Overview
LoomCV is a production-inspired resume builder platform that combines resume creation, AI-assisted content generation, subscription management, cloud file storage, and real-time preview functionality into a complete SaaS experience. The application explores real-world patterns such as authentication, billing, permissions, persistence, and AI integration. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Problem
Many resume builders either lack intelligent content assistance or do not expose developers to the architectural challenges involved in building a real SaaS product. Users need a platform that simplifies resume creation while improving content quality through AI assistance.
Solution
Built a full-stack SaaS platform that allows users to create, edit, preview, and download resumes while leveraging Gemini AI for professional summaries and ATS-optimized work experience generation. Subscription tiers unlock advanced features and higher resume limits.
Architecture
Next.js App Router serves as the full application layer using React Server Components, Client Components, Server Actions, and API routes. Clerk handles authentication, Prisma manages PostgreSQL access, Stripe manages billing, Gemini powers AI generation, and Vercel Blob provides file storage. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
