I built RenderCV because Word kept breaking my layout and LaTeX was overkill. I wanted my CV as a single YAML file (content, design, margins, everything) that I could render with one command. Run rendercv render cv.yaml → get a perfectly typeset PDF. Highlights: 1. Version-controllable: Your CV is just text. Diff it, tag it. 2. LLM-friendly: Paste into ChatGPT, tailor to a job description, paste back, render. Batch-produce variants with terminal AI agents. 3. Perfect typography: Typst under the hood handles pixel-perfect alignment and spacing. 4. Full design control: Margins, fonts, colors,…

Hey HN! We built a quick way to normalize CVs and resumes. Specifically, we built a simple 2-page app at https://cv.studio/ where you can choose a pdf, doc or docx file, and CV Studio will extract the relevant professional metadata out of it and give you a web-shareable URL of that CV. There are a couple other features (e.g. being able to add information that is missing in the CV) but we’re hoping this makes it easier for people to share CVs of applicants during the hiring process. We’d love any feedback or questions you might have.

Built this while applying to various jobs. I was using Claude to generate different resume variants for roles (Flutter, WordPress, fullstack, Python backend, agentic AI/RAG). It worked pretty well, but I kept hitting limits — both in control and credits. I also wanted something more consistent when tailoring resumes for specific job posts. So I built this. Key points: * Multiple variants from one base * Client-side PDF rendering (PDFKit in browser, no server) * Local-first PWA, works offline * JSON import/export * FOSS (open to PRs for templates/features) Live demo:…

For the first time since I don't know when I need a CV, so I hacked a simple Next.js app. The layout is print-friendly, so you can use it as your website or just use it to generate PDFs. Maybe you'll find it useful as well.
