Hey there, Dylan here, founder of Qwilr () - and creator of the Resumator. When I was just getting started as a freelance designer / engineer, I found it was tough to make an impression with my resume - Until I started creating resume websites. Then I got a lot more interviews and call backs. So I thought I'd make a way for folks to get something online and impressive in a really short amount of time. Enjoy!
LinkedIn integration please!

We were super keen on it, that was actually the original idea --- but when we got in contact with LinkedIn they said we couldn't :( Not allowed to use the API for creating resumes. (Which is kinda fair, since it is basically what LinkedIn is).
Funny =)). I used at least two other products that make resumes from Linkedin API. Maybe they changed policy.
Maker
Oh yeh, which ones? I'd love to see Resumator connect to LinkedIn...
Well there's this product , they might have parsed it themselves perhaps? Though they do leverage LinkedIn api, they could've misdeclared their use case, if thats what you heard from them regarding their API :) Cool product btw!
Really cool, and the simplicity is incredibly compelling. Highly recommend utilizing the Linkedin API to make it even easier

Heya Ian, ah we wanted to! But they don't allow resume creators to use the API (fair enough since it kinda competes with their core business).
Just finished using it and love it! My only issue is that it was a bit confusing editing - going back and forth between Resumator and Qwilr. Also, I tried to upload my own HD wallpaper as a background, but it didn't show up. Ended up using one of the stock ones. Regardless, very nicely done!
Maker
Yah, so the trade-off is that to get in there and get one's hands dirty with the editing and customisation, you need to signup for a Qwilr account. I thought about building more customisable options into the Resumator, but then figured I'd just be building a 2nd Qwilr :)

This is so beautiful! Great work ! 😻
Maker
Cheers Marcus, appreciate it!
I just created my resume using Qwilr! Loving it
Maker
Legendary! Hope you land the gig :)
This is a great step but definitely needs a lot more functionality for users to engage with
Maker
Heya Qasim, cheers - the idea for the app, was to either be very straightforward (i.e. pretty much just fill out the fields) - or create a Qwilr account and edit + customise as wished. It was a bit of a tradeoff, in terms of how much customisation to build into the Resumator app itself, without just doubling up on Qwilr functionality.
Pretty great tool. Tried it out just to see how easy it was and was really impressed with the UI.

Yo Dustin - awesome man, glad you dug the design :)
