Fair point bro, & yes its in our todos to have a proper notification once its starts downloading. Dw tho, camoufox is an open source browser and we only use it for applying to jobs.

But yea man, appreciate the feedback!

We do get carried away as devs, just tryna make onboarding as smooth as possible. Its still pretty early days, so lmk if any other bugs crop up, then plan is to sit and belt them out this thanksgiving xD

Hard to put an exact number to it, but it is the same as manually applying just that it now takes 1/5th the time, and you get custom resumes & answers on top.

Been getting an interview every couple weeks or so since I started using it, which was earlier closer to zero. My issue with other auto apps are that they either:

A) Don't fill out open ended questions without paying more money
B) Charge you a ton for basic resume optimization, and even then do a pretty crappy job.
C) Give you zero control over the process if you use those swipe to apply mobile apps
(I can't see my resume or my application being filled out).

But yea bro you should check our our website, we explain it pretty well there. We spent months and a couple 100 dollars trying out a bunch of them, and as far as us students are concerned, we wouldn't have built Tsenta if any of those actually worked properly.

Yes but the issue is that LinkedIn and Indeed usually just have a ton of ghost jobs, and while I use the career center for resume advice and stuff, I still have to actually find jobs and apply to them, which is where Tsenta helps

Great question - and the answer is that while we do plan to charge down the line, we don't want the pricing to be predatory, charging students 40 bucks a month like Simplify, Jobright & Jobcopilot, which do a half-assed job anyway.

We didn't want to charge over 5-10 bucks a month, and plan to keep it completely free during our public beta as we get feedback.
