Easy Apply - Browser extension

About

This extension aims to help developers in their job search by providing a convenient way to quickly assess their experience for a given position and streamline the application process.

Here's what the extension does:

1. Extracts the required experience for a job position from the job posting page and displays it to the user.
2. Allows the user to set their own experience in years on the settings page of the extension.
3. Show experience requirement in a way that the user can easily see if it is relevant to them. A red color indicates that the user does not meet the experience requirement, a green color indicates that the user meets the requirement, and an orange color indicates that the extension was unable to determine the relevance.
4. Autofill job application forms with the user's information, saving them time and effort.
5. Customization options: The user can customize the extension to their preference by specifying which information they want to be included when autofilling forms and by setting their own experience level on the settings page.

We hope these features save you time and help you in your job search.

Development

pnpm dev

Then load extension in browser with the extension/ folder.

For Firefox developers, you can run the following command instead:

pnpm start:firefox

web-ext auto reload the extension when extension/ files changed.

While Vite handles HMR automatically in the most of the case, Extensions Reloader is still recommanded for cleaner hard reloading.

Build

To build the extension, run

pnpm build

And then pack files under extension, you can upload extension.crx or extension.xpi to appropriate extension store.

This repo's based on the vitesse-webext template.
