Love seeing a free, local-first resume builder with actual PDF export that doesn't hold features hostage. One thing that would make it even more useful: an AI-assisted bullet point rewriter that suggests stronger action verbs and quantifiers, all running locally so the privacy promise holds. Could really help folks who stare at a blank line forever.
Running entirely in the browser is a really thoughtful touch, especially for privacy. One thing that would make it even more useful is adding a built-in option to import an existing resume from PDF or Word and auto-fill the fields, since rewriting a resume from scratch is often the biggest barrier when someone switches tools.
Finally tried this out and the local-only aspect won me over, my data never leaves the browser which is a huge plus. The live preview while tweaking typography made it feel way less painful than other builders I have used.
Love that this is fully offline and free, the typography controls are a dream. One thing that would make it even better is adding a built-in ATS score checker that flags common issues like missing action verbs or overly long paragraphs before you export the PDF.
Local-only PDF export with the side-by-side preview is a really nice touch, makes tweaking font sizes way less guesswork. Glad it's open source too.
