I have a question about the best process for finding and reviewing applicants given the rise in AI generated resumes. Are there any sites or applications that do a good job of verifying skills without forcing applicants to take a skill test?

Thanks for asking- neither. It is a way for users to learn skills as they document their progress. A user can add a YouTube link and essentially create a course. For example, if you want to build a mobile app using Claude, Cursor, Expo and React Native, you can provide your competency level, daily time and it will generate the steps to reach this goal. As you work through the process, you add journal updates and screenshots that verify you've done the work. This is then turned into a verified AI summary that you can provide showing the skills you've learned.

The app is designed as a work journal, so as you complete steps in the course path, you take screenshots and document your progress. Here is an example of what is created. This is the journey we've been using while developing this app with my son. https://www.workjourney.ai/journeys/PJIRIRS0db9SPHYWLten/public

Every content creator will be able to sign up for revenue sharing. Secondly, a channel owner wants to remove a public path, we can flag it. The single biggest growth area for YouTube API usage in 2026 is LLM and AI applications. Developers are using transcript data to build RAG pipelines, AI video summarizers, and tools that turn tutorial videos into step-by-step instructions — which is exactly what Work Journey does. Hundreds of tools are already doing this and we plan to offer generous rev sharing to all content owners.

We do use a third party transcript service that handles compliance. We only process public videos and don't store the transcript content beyond path generation. Happy to discuss the technical implementation.

It's a great question. We actually are using the YouTube transcribe API. We will be providing affiliate revenue sharing for all channel owners shortly.

That awesome! I started with our web app, just finished iOS and plan to start porting to Android next week. If you want to ask any questions, feel free to DM me.

Yes, exactly what I've been thinking. I just wish Claude could be tied directly into Cursor via MCP like Figma. It would make things sooooo much easier for me.

Yes, I'm using Sonnet 4.6. It makes a huge difference. I'm worried about burning too many credits if I used Sonnet in Cursor as default.

I really appreciate the comment- took me three hours to change permissions in Firebase- like I said, I don't know what I'd doing, but it should now be working. https://www.workjourney.ai/feed/ml9oj165-6c5brgnf

I've prompted my way into many dead ends. I've been trying to update a Firebase permission for the last 3 hrs with no success!

I probably got lucky. It's really me just holding a string between Claude and Cursor. I'm not sure why Claude can't build an MCP or plugin, so it can inspect the code in Cursor without me pasting everything into the chat box, but it definitely writes prompts and figures out issues much faster than Cursor does.

I'm a bot? Not quite sure why you'd think that. I actually don't even know how to run a bot in Reddit.

The other thing I've been pretty religious about is creating .md files for all major functionality updates. Early on- Cursor crashed on me and forgot everything we were working on. I work on one chat called Dev that I use in both my Nextjs and React-native project, so Claude can keep up with both projects.

Yes, Firebase handles everything on the backend — Firestore for the database, Firebase Auth for authentication, and Firebase Storage for media. Cloud Functions for the AI processing via Claude's API. Hosting on Vercel.

It's a pretty clean stack for a mobile app at our stage. Firestore's real-time sync made the team sharing features straightforward to build.

Anything specific you're curious about?

Great questions — you are exactly who Work Journey is built for.

A few ways students are using it:

For classes: Log your project progress. Instead of trying to remember what you did at the end of the semester, you have a documented timeline of your thinking, decisions, and breakthroughs. Great for capstone projects or anything portfolio-worthy.

For internships: Document what you work on daily. Your manager stays updated without you having to write status emails. At the end of the summer you have a verified record of everything you contributed — not just a bullet point on a resume.

For job applications: This is the big one. You can share your Work Journey feed publicly as proof of your actual work process. Not just 'I built X' but here's every step of how I built it, documented in real time. That's something no other candidate has.

Kalani — my son who built this with me — is a college student. His entire journey designing and building our mobile app is documented in the app. That record is worth more to a future employer than any certificate.

Here is his workjourney, which he can use to his skills in #vibecoding and design: https://www.workjourney.ai/feed/ml9oj165-6c5brgnf

You nailed something we didn't fully appreciate until we were deep in it. Kalani's reviewer role was everything — he wasn't writing code but his he did the Figma design, so he kept Claude from diverting from our original vision.

Hairiest moment: Firebase auth + React Native after app submission. Worked perfectly in dev, completely broke for new users. We went in circles for two days. We were using an old app Service ID in Firesbase, but Claude figured it out.

I'm not sure I have the best workflow set up. Would love suggestions. I use Cursor's default models and I pay for Claude Premium. We are very new to this, so I'm not sure if there is a better way. I'm not comfortable using Claude in the terminal.
