A 100% free, open-source, privacy-first resume builder.

Hi everyone! 👋

I built this Resume Builder because the current market of resume tools feels predatory. They hook you with a "free builder" and then demand a subscription when you try to download your actual PDF.

Here's how this is different:

1. It's actually free. No paywalls, no hidden premium templates, no watermarks.

2. It respects your privacy. There is no database. Your data is stored locally in your browser using local storage.

3. It's open source. You can view the code, fork it, or run it locally yourself.

4. It exports properly. The PDFs are rendered via React-PDF, ensuring the text is selectable and fully readable by ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems).

I just dropped version 0.5.0 which includes full granular typography controls, unlimited custom theming, and standalone Windows binaries.

I'd love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests!
