Hi Product Hunt! I'm the maker of Resume Builder.
I built this because the current landscape of resume tools feels incredibly predatory. You spend an hour entering all your information, getting the layout and design just right, and when you finally click "Download", you're hit with a $15/month subscription paywall. I found this so frustrating that I decided to solve the problem myself.
Here's how this tool is different:
* It's actually free: No paywalls, no hidden premium templates, no watermarks.
* Total Privacy: There is no database. Your personal data never leaves your device and is stored locally in your browser.
* ATS-Friendly: The PDFs are rendered via React-PDF, ensuring the text is selectable and fully readable by Applicant Tracking Systems.
* Customization: Granular typography controls, layout spacing, and unlimited custom hex colors to match your personal brand.
* Desktop App: I also just shipped v0.5.0, which includes standalone offline Windows executables if you prefer a native app experience!
It's completely open-source (built with Next.js, React, and TailwindCSS). I would absolutely love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests!
