It’s with extreme excitement, happiness and relief that I can now say, introducing… Reactive Resume v2.
With nearly 1.7k stars on GitHub, around 100 closed issues and feature requests, I heard you loud and clear and revamped the project from the ground up, and boy, am I excited to hear what you guys think about this!
Without much ado, here’s the link to the all new Reactive Resume: https://rxresu.me
For those of you who are not aware of the project, here’s the cliff note: Reactive Resume is a free, open source, ad-free, private app that focuses on making the mundane tasks of creating, updating and sharing your resume a piece of cake.
Here is a subset of features introduced in the all new revamp:
- Manage multiple resumes with one account, and sync your data across devices
- Sign in with Google, or sign in anonymously just to test the app
- Send your resume to others with a unique sharable link
- Structure sections and change layouts the way you want to
- Import your existing JSON Resume in one click
- Everything is still free, and always will be.
Please do take a few minutes to go through the app, and if you loved it, let me know in the comments below on what could be better. Thank you so much for all the support!
It's been about 4 years since I started my project, Resume on the Web, where I created a website that portrays who I am and my ever-changing personality. Every once in a while, I revamp the whole thing using new technologies so that I keep myself updated with the latest and greatest, and also gives me a creative outlet to experiment with new design ideas.
This year, I kicked it up a notch by revamping the design of the old boring two-column resume look, to something a lot more vibrant, responsive and effective. I'll keep my words to a minimum and let the website do the talking.
Please do let me know your thoughts about it, and upvote if you liked it :) Thank you so much!
The structure of JSON I've designed is a bit better than JSON Resume as it has options to customize headings for the sections, this allows for multilingual resumes with no development effort necessary.
But I will definitely look into the option in which uploading a Gist or something would generate the resume as well, it shouldn't be that difficult.
I did check out JSON resume, a bit later after I made this, but the schema that I'm using it's too far fetched from what JSON Resume uses, and with a few tweaks, like adding an ID field, or adding heading tags (so that resume sections headings can be in any language of the user's choice). The JSON I've made is a bit more flexible that way, specific to the application. Maybe this could be the new standard? (hehe)
I've been getting that feature request a lot, and if you are aware of any libraries that would print out minified HTML+CSS of a certain div/section, please do let me know. That's what I'm struggling with here since the whole thing is in React + Tailwind CSS, very connected to the build process.
Oh, man. This has been a problem ever since I moved to macOS. Thank you so much for the heads up. Will fix it ASAP.
And thank you very very much, I really hope you continue to use the app and please do let me know if there's anything I can do to help make the experience much better :)
It kinda touches on the border of not being offline, I don't know. A user would be able to just as easily upload the JSON to their respective Cloud Storage Provider, it would be a pain to support all of the major ones since there are so many.
Maybe when there's a clear need of one or more cloud services, this could be explored?
Right, I was thinking the same thing, that you can easily just upload the file. The reason I thought of it is I showed this to my wife (who absolutely loves this btw!) and she immediately seemed confused when I explained the need to export the file. I've since convinced her but I wonder if this will not be obvious to those without a techie showing them?
Anyways if you are interested in adding this feel free to give me a ping I'd be happy to help! daniels.bytes at the google (daniel-bytes on Github). Again amazing job on this! <3
