I Built a SaaS Solo. Then Someone Trademarked My Name and Tried to Steal It.

I'm George. I'm a solo developer from the UK. Last year I started building ApplyArc —> an AI-powered job application tracker. If you've ever job-hunted seriously, you know the pain. Spreadsheets everywhere. Cover letters you copy-paste and forget to change the company name. Interviews you didn't prep for because you lost track. I lived that pain, so I built the tool I wished existed. The stack: Frontend: React + Vite (deployed on Azure Static Web Apps) Backend: Azure Functions (Node.js) AI: Azure OpenAI (GPT-4o) for cover letters, interview prep, resume optimization Database: Cosmos DB Hosting: All on Azure (I'm in the Microsoft for Startups program) It's got 17 AI tools, a visual Kanban board for tracking applications, smart reminders, weekly analytics, and a Chrome extension that lets you save jobs from any site in one click. I bootstrapped everything. No funding. No team. No marketing budget. Just me, my laptop, and an unreasonable number of late nights. The Part Where It Gets Ugly
