Fixing What Matters and Ignoring What Doesn’t
Woke up today with a clear list from yesterday’s feedback and made a rule for myself — only fix things that actually hurt the experience. No scope creep. No “while I’m in here let me also add this cool thing I thought of.” Just fix, test, move on.
First thing I tackled was the percentage transparency issue. Added a small info button next to the match score that expands a clean breakdown — how many core skills you matched, how many secondary skills, how the weighting works. Kept it short. Three lines max. Enough to make the number feel earned without turning it into a math lecture. Tested it on my phone and it reads well. That one actually didn’t take long and the difference it makes is significant. A number with context feels trustworthy. Without it you’re just asking people to believe you.
The next steps problem took more thinking. The issue isn’t that the information isn’t there — it’s that after the results load the page just kind of ends. So I added a soft recommendations strip at the bottom of the gap analysis. For each missing skill it now surfaces a suggested learning direction. Not a specific course, not an affiliate link, nothing commercial — just a honest one liner like “consider building a project using TypeScript” or “look into system design fundamentals.” Keeps it practical without feeling like a sales pitch.
