🌐 Deployment Notes

• Frontend can be deployed on Vercel.
• Backend should be deployed separately (Render / Railway / Python hosting).
• Connect frontend API URL to hosted backend URL.

⚠️ Important (.venv)

Do not upload .venv to GitHub.
It is machine-specific and very large.

Add this in .gitignore:

.venv/
venv/
__pycache__/
*.pyc
.env

If already pushed, remove it from tracking:

git rm -r --cached .venv
git commit -m "Remove .venv from repository"
git push

---

🔮 Future Improvements

• Upload resume as PDF/DOCX
• Better NLP-based skill extraction
• Skill synonym mapping (e.g., JS = JavaScript)
• Weighted scoring (required vs preferred skills)
• Downloadable skill gap report
