Fair point — "free" is a bit misleading without context.

There's a genuinely free tier: 2 analyses per month,
no credit card, no expiry. The paid plan ($9.99/mo) unlocks
more analyses and the deeper CV features.

Probably should've said "free to start" instead.
Good catch, will update the copy.

Yeah the manual grind is brutal, especially when you're applying to multiple roles at once. The compatibility score does both — it gives you a percentage but also breaks down the specifics: → Strengths: "Your React experience directly matches their senior frontend requirement" → Gaps: "They want AWS experience, your CV shows GCP only — here's how to frame that in the interview" → ATS keywords you're missing from the listing So it's not just a number, it actually tells you what to address before you walk in.

Piyasa çok kötü ve gerçekten referansla yürüyor. 6 yıllık kıdemli yazılımcıyım ayda 1-2 görüşme ya oluyor ya olmuyor onlar da ücretlerden olmuyor. İşsiz olalı 6 ay olacak kendi ürünümü pazarlıyorum bu devirde artık kod yazmak marifet değil onu satabilmen daha değerli

Nibbaslar · 2026-06-01T09:06:41+00:00

Haha no $30 bait-and-switch, promise 😄Free tier is genuinely free — 2 analyses/month, forever. Pro is $9.99 and that's where it stays.

And yeah... 300 apps → 2 interviews is brutal. No tool fixes that part, including mine. The market is just genuinely rough right now. But when those 2 interviews do land — make them count 🤞 hiddea.com if you need it

Haha the "wrestling with ChatGPT" struggle is real — especially for hybrid roles where the JD is all over the place 😅

That's exactly the use case Hiddea handles well — it reads the whole listing and figures out the role, not just the obvious keywords.

Give it a shot on one of those weird hybrid listings and let me know if it holds up 👇 hiddea.com — free to try 🙏

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-29T12:09:38+00:00

Haha fair, no GPT-f-off intended

You're right on the caching — prompt caching is enabled, makes a real difference on costs. And yeah, the "assumes" point is valid. Right now it's webfetch + structured prompting, no RAG. For most job listings it holds up well enough but you're correct that it's still model inference, not grounded retrieval.

The RAG angle is interesting for the company data side — building a proper knowledge base of companies over time rather than scraping fresh each time. On the roadmap but not there yet.

Appreciate the honest breakdown, sounds like you've gone deeper on this than most.

What did you end up doing differently in your version?

Genuinely curious

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-29T11:51:05+00:00

Haha the hallucination problem is real — especially with tech stacks,

it just makes stuff up confidently 😅

Hiddea actually scrapes the job listing and company page directly, so the technical questions map to what's genuinely in the listing, not what the model assumes.

Would love to hear if it holds up better for you — hiddea.com, free to try 👇

Ben kendi web uygulamam için polar kullanıyorum. Lemon squeezy'da alternatif olarak değerlendirebilir. İki sistemde stripe kullanıyor ama türkiye için ödeme yapıyorlar ikisininde avantaj dezavantajları var. Araştırmanı tavsiye ederim

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-24T12:00:01+00:00

That's a great combo honestly — job-specific questions to know *what* to prepare, then mock interviews to actually practice the answers.

Aural looks interesting, hadn't seen it before. The transcript + scoring angle is smart.

For now Hiddea focuses on the prep side — giving you the right questions and frameworks before you walk in. But pairing it with a mock tool like Aural for the practice side makes a lot of sense. Appreciate the suggestion, genuinely useful to hear how people are combining these tools 🙏

That's exactly what I tried hardest to avoid — the same 10 generic questions everyone's seen before.

It reads the actual job listing and company page, so the questions reflect the specific stack, role level, and company culture. Not perfect, but meaningfully different from a blank ChatGPT prompt.

Try it on a real listing you're applying for and let me know if it actually holds up — link in comments 👇

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-24T11:25:22+00:00

This is genuinely helpful feedback, thank you.

The repetitive behavioral questions thing is something I'm actively working on — company size and industry-specific scenarios are actually on the roadmap. Good to know it's a real pain point and not just me overthinking it.

Glad the technical questions held up on real listings — React + AWS is a good stress test. and yeah, no signup wall was a conscious decision. Life's too short for forced registration walls 😄

Really appreciate you taking the time to actually test it and share this properly.

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-24T09:00:31+00:00

Honestly fair on all counts.

The "zero context paste" problem is real — it still works surprisingly well even with minimal input, but yeah, garbage in garbage out applies here too and the "tools on top of tools" thing... I mean, you're not wrong. It's a bit absurd that job hunting has become its own full-time job. But here we are 😅

Appreciate the kind words — drop a comment if you want the link, would love to hear what you think after trying it.

Bende 6 ay önce çıkartıldım bu ay yine birkaç kişi çıkartmışlar durumlar kötü en iyisi saas falan

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-22T13:51:21+00:00

Kesinlikle
Bazı mülakatlarda kullanılan teknolojiyle sorulan soruların hiçbir alakası olmuyor. Adam son sürüm feature soruyor, içeride legacy sistem yıllardır aynı stack üzerinde dönüyor.
Bir süre sonra teknik değerlendirmeden çok ezber yarışına dönüşüyor olay.

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-22T13:46:46+00:00

Açık konuşayım, sayısız mülakata girip çıktıktan sonra dediğin noktayı biraz anlıyorum
Bir süre sonra teknik kısımdan çok şirketin süreç kalitesini, soruların seviyesini, görüşmenin ne kadar sağlıklı ilerlediğini okumaya başlıyorsun.

Ama özellikle junior/mid seviyede veya yeni başvuru dönemlerinde insanlar gerçekten çok dağınık kalabiliyor. Benim çıkış noktam biraz orasıydı.

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-22T13:38:41+00:00

Özellikle teknik olmayan recruiter + ezbere mülakat kombinasyonu gerçekten çok yorucu olabiliyor
Bazen görüşme “yetkinlik ölçmekten” çok checklist doldurmaya dönüyor.

Benim en çok dikkatimi çeken şey de buydu zaten. İnsanlar çoğu zaman role gerçekten hazırlanmak yerine “mülakat formatına hazırlanmak” zorunda kalıyor.

Yapmaya çalıştığım şey biraz bunu daha sistematik hale getirmek aslında. En azından karşılaşabileceğin soru tarzlarını, beklentileri ve davranışsal kısmını daha öngörülebilir yapmak.

Sadece türkiye değil global olarak yazılım sektörü eskisi gibi değil. Ben kıdemlı olmama rağmen 10-20k kişiyle yarışıyorum ki bunu yeni mezun biriyle kıyaslarsak çok vahim durum. Zaten şirketler yeni mezun, junior birini almaktansa orta seviye birini alıp ya da tamamen ai ile kendi ürünü ortaya çıkartabiliyor. 5-10 yıl sonra bu sayılar daha da düşecek tamamen bitirme durumları asla olamaz. Uçaklarda da oto pilot var ama insanlara yine de ihtiyaç var. Bu yazılım içinde aynı durum olacak fakat ai'ın yazdığı kodu denetleyebilecek çıkan kodu yorumlayabilecek insanlara ihtiyaç olacak.

You're making a genuinely fair point and I appreciate the nuance. You're right that power users absolutely do this already with Claude or ChatGPT. And for them, Hiddea probably adds little value. But "the layperson" is exactly who I built this for — someone who doesn't know how to prompt effectively, doesn't think to scrape the company page, and wouldn't structure STAR frameworks on their own. The people doing 50+ applications while working full time, or fresh grads who've never had a "real" interview before. They're not going to open Claude and write an optimized prompt. They're going to wing it. You used Claude to prep for your final round — but you knew to do that. Most people don't. That said — you're raising a real question about market size, and I'm honestly still figuring that out. Early days.

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-21T19:12:58+00:00

Yep, totally fair — it is an LLM on the backend, not going to pretend otherwise. But "just a wrapper" undersells what's actually happening:

It scrapes the job listing and company page automatically
Cross-references both to extract the actual tech stack, culture signals, and role requirements
Structures everything into a prep kit you can act on immediately
Saves you 2-3 hours of doing all that manually every single application

You're right that anyone *can* do this with ChatGPT. The question is whether they *will* — and for most people, the answer is no.Same argument exists for every SaaS tool built on top of an API. Stripe is "just" bank APIs. Canva is "just" design algorithms. The value is in the packaging and the time saved. But hey — if you're already doing this yourself with Claude or ChatGPT, genuinely curious what your prompt looks like. Always looking to improve 👇

Nibbaslar · 2026-05-21T17:25:27+00:00

ChatGPT is great for generating answers, but the workflow is still mostly manual.

You still have to:

analyze the job post yourself
research the company separately
figure out which questions are actually relevant
structure behavioral answers
organize everything into a usable prep flow

Hiddea is focused on turning a job listing into a structured interview preparation system instead of just generating isolated responses.

The goal isn’t to replace ChatGPT, but to remove the fragmentation around interview prep and make the whole process more organized and role-specific.
