StatementSync
PDF to Spreadsheet Tool — Case Study
Shipped the product, maintained the repo, and documented the architectural and pricing decisions behind it.
Project Overview
StatementSync converted bank statements into spreadsheet exports. This entry is a case study on the build: the MicroSaaSBot workflow, serverless PDF parsing trade-offs (unpdf vs pdf-parse), and flat-rate vs per-file pricing. First-party posts document the architectural decisions.
Challenge
Keep the portfolio copy tied to verifiable product capabilities and first-party documentation, not inflated performance claims.
Key Features
PDF Upload + Export
Transforms uploaded statements into exportable spreadsheet output.
Serverless Processing
Uses a deployment-compatible parsing approach suitable for hosted environments.
Shipped Product Surface
Published with a real live URL and supporting build documentation.
Lessons Learned
- school First-party implementation writing is a stronger proof artifact than inflated portfolio metrics.
