Job Fit Tracker

What it is A Kanban board for job applications (Wishlist → Applied → Interview → Offer, with Rejected off to the side) that scores how well a posting actually fits you: paste the job description, and Claude reads it against your own profile to return a fit score, concrete strengths and gaps, and the specific points to lead with in a cover letter.

Components & how it works

Frontend — React (Vite), with cards dragged between columns using native HTML5 drag-and-drop events — no extra library.

Backend — a small Express API storing applications and your profile in a JSON file; enough for one person's job search, with no database to stand up or maintain.

Fit scoring — POST /api/applications/:id/score sends your profile text plus the job description to the Anthropic Messages API and asks for a structured JSON verdict (score, strengths, gaps, talking points), which gets saved onto the application record.

Data model — each application tracks company, role, job description, status, applied date, notes, and its most recent fit-score result, so the AI's reasoning stays attached to the card, not just a one-off popup.
