How I built CoverLetterGPT.xyz and got over 300 users w/ payments within 2 weeks

Wasp-lang Alpha

On that note, the tools I used to build this app definitely helped me build it quickly. I used the PERN stack; Postgres, Express, React, and Node, via a full-stack framework called Wasp which gets things done fast and with less code. I tackled the UI with Chakra-ui, whose React components make UI a lot easier and keep things looking fresh. I integrated the Stripe API for payments, and of course the OpenAI API for generating the cover letters. The server and Postgres instances are hosted on https://railway.app, which is my favorite way to spin up databases quickly. All the configuration and setup are explained in the README file on GitHub, but if you have any questions feel free to drop me a line here or on twitter: https://twitter.com/hot\_town.
