Show HN: Local-first resume generator with in-browser PDF rendering

https://resume.journy.live/
4•dlvktrsh•5h ago
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: https://resume.journy.live

Repo: https://github.com/qmanas/resume-builder-react

Workflow:

Import: use any chat-based AI with your resume + the prompt in the app to generate a JSON version, then import it.

Create variant: load master → make changes → “Save Preset” → name it (e.g. flutter)

Update variant: load variant → edit → “Save Preset” → confirm overwrite

No login, no data leaves your browser.

Curious what people think about the idea and execution.
