What's more likely - that you go to a resume builder website when your mate recommends, or download an app? What would you recommend - a cool app, or a website? Apps are physical a…

Me and my co-founder had a "little" adventure recently with delivering rich text to iOS, including images and video, with HTML output and both way sync. You bet it was hell. I want…
