Google announced UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) two days ago. I realized developers building AI shopping agents have no real merchant to test against, so I built one.
Live sandbox: https://puddingheroes.com/api/ucp/
What you can do:
- Discovery endpoint at /.well-known/ucp.json
- Browse 9 products (books, vacation rental, memberships, experiences)
- Complete fake checkouts with payment_token: "sandbox_test"
- Get a real PDF download for the free item (not a mock)
curl https://puddingheroes.com/api/ucp/test
The products are from my actual business (sci-fi novel, Airbnb property, community membership) so it's realistic test data, not lorem ipsum.

The process of tailoring a resume for specific job postings has long been a pain point for job seekers. It's recommended by career counselors and professionals alike, yet it's an arduous and time-consuming task for many.
To address this, I've developed an AI-powered tool, BestResume.ai, with the intent of significantly simplifying this process. Drawing on the capabilities of advanced language models, it's designed to adapt resumes to align with particular job postings.
The early results have been promising, and I believe this tool has the potential to disrupt the traditional resume writing industry. We've even secured patents for our unique approach.
I'm curious to know the thoughts of the Hacker News community about this. How do you see AI influencing job application processes in the future, especially resume writing? Is there potential for major disruption in this field, or is it more likely to be an incremental change?
For those interested, I'm also looking for early feedback and testers to help refine the platform. If you're open to exploring this new tool, I'd appreciate your insights.
