  • RenderCV – Open-source CV/resume generator, YAML to PDFDec 2025 · github.com · ▲100

    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,…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
