What it is
Harry The Blaze is a placement-prep web app for final-year engineering students in India. It has two offers:
| Offer | What the student gets | How it's paid |
|---|
| Practice | Company-style cognitive games and communication rounds, with extra levels and the full communication rounds behind Premium | One-time Premium purchase via Razorpay |
| Connect 1:1 | A 20-minute live call with a recently placed senior | Paid per booking. The team confirms the slot and sends one meeting link to both sides. |
Connect is operated manually on purpose. Student-facing copy should keep saying so. See PRODUCT.md for users, positioning and brand rules, and docs/connect-admin-v1.md for the operator workflow.
Features
- Cognitive games. Matrix Flow, Balloon Math, Hidden Maze for Accenture. Geo-Sudo, Grid, Motion, Switch, Digit, BART, Mapping, Dual Task and Inductive challenges for Cognizant. Best scores and attempts are saved per game.
- Communication rounds. Two company patterns (Accenture, Cognizant) covering conversation, listening, reading aloud, repeat, fill-in-the-blank, error correction, speaking topic and written email. Question audio is Amazon Polly; answers are scored with AI feedback.
- Connect 1:1. Browse seniors, pick a slot, pay, and get a confirmation. Includes an expert onboarding flow (
/placed-guru) and a super-admin queue at /admin?tab=connect.
- AI interview, Forge (resume builder), Radar (job match) and a coding-questions checklist are available to Premium users.
- Placement links. Public, no-sign-in pages at
/placement/:code for a single opportunity (company, role, package, skills, how to apply, FAQs). Share a short code such as tcs-nov26, or the job's UUID. /placement shows a code box. Jobs are posted and toggled active from the admin Jobs tab, and the AI parse-job function fills the details from a pasted description.
- Blog with write, my-posts and admin views.
Tech stack
| Layer | Technology |
|---|
| Frontend | React 18, TypeScript, Vite 5, Tailwind CSS 3, shadcn/ui (Radix), Framer Motion, GSAP, React Router 6, TanStack Query |
| Auth | Clerk |
| Database and functions | Supabase (Postgres, row-level security, Deno edge functions) |
| Payments | Razorpay (PayU webhook also present) |
| Email | Resend |
| AI backend | FastAPI on AWS Lambda (via Mangum), DynamoDB, S3, Bedrock/OpenAI, Amazon Polly |
| Hosting | Vercel (frontend), AWS SAM (backend) |
How it fits together
Browser (React + Vite, Vercel)
├── Clerk ............ sign-in, session tokens
├── Supabase ......... Postgres + RLS (jobs, bookings, scores, blog)
│ └── Edge functions: payments, Connect bookings, admin, resume/job parsing
├── Razorpay ......... checkout; webhooks land in Supabase functions
└── FastAPI (AWS Lambda) .. AI interview, resume, game and communication grading
└── DynamoDB, S3, Bedrock/OpenAI, Polly
Public pages (landing, blog, /placement) read Supabase with the anon key under RLS. Anything that moves money or writes on a user's behalf goes through an edge function that verifies the Clerk token first.
