Show HN: GhostCV – embed AI-readable text in your resume (without losing design)
ghost-cv.comI suspect a lot of resumes — especially the ones designed in Figma or exported from Canva — look great to humans but get completely butchered by resume parsers.
Most of these systems don’t use vision or layout — they just extract raw text. And if the PDF is made of outlines, floating layers, or flattened design, there’s often nothing to extract So I built this thing: ghostCV - It takes your visual resume - Lets you write what you want the AI to see - And embeds that as transparent text in the PDF
The result: the parser sees clean text, the human sees your design, and nobody knows the difference.
Is this sketchy? Maybe. Useful? I think so.
No login. No tracking. Just a tiny hack for anyone who’s been ghosted by a bot
Curious what HN thinks — anyone else try this kind of thing?
