#2This is literally the best thing ever. I love the fact that you have everything I could ever want - colors, refresh the screen right away, and different designs too.
Bonus points for keeping everything offline because if I use this I would be afraid you would be keeping track of my keystrokes as I type in all of my personal information into the form. < - Please don't ever do this, anyone who may read this comment.

Hey there!
Thank you so much :) That was exactly what I was going for, complete privacy and complete customization possibilities. Plus, a lot of my friends keep saying that I have good resume design skills as I've made mine, and I used to release templates as PSD or Figma documents previously, but not everyone could edit them, so that's why I made this :)
I would never ever make it monetized or put ads or collect personal data in any sort of way. In all honesty, the only thing I have on the site is a Google Analytics script, and that's just to see how many people are using the site (to fuel my ego :D). But even that can be disabled if you use few browser extensions.
I really hope you keep using the app, please do let me know how I can make the experience much better :) Thank you!

#4I've encountered some bugs on Safari. When attempting to scroll through the categories on the left and right sides, the selected entries are not visible.
Screenshot: https://ibb.co/SKxjMFf
Tested on: Safari 13.1 / MacOS 10.15.4
It looks OK on Opera 67.

#5Nice UI! A few comments:
- It would be nice to be able to see a preview of the template in full size
- How do you export the résumé at the end?
- I couldn't find the code. Where is it?

Interesting... will try to replicate the same and get it fixed ASAP. Thank you so much for reporting the same :)

I'll definitely look into what can be done about those previews. Right now, it's not that hard to just load the dummy data (from the Actions Tab) and cycle through the templates, but I'll look into making the process easier.
As for the export options, as defined in the Actions Tab, you can print the resume at any time and the browser has options to print as PDF. Also, you can export the data as JSON and import it back again, keeping it completely portable.
The GitHub Repository can be found here: https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume
There is an About Tab as well which has the link to the repository from within the app :)

I'm not able to recreate the issue on my Macbook.
It's the same, 13-inch MBP, macOS 10.15.4

#10I started typing in a hex colour, and the page disappeared. And it’s persistently broken. (This is probably the biggest problem with storing persistent data, even including persistent caches of server data: if it’s broken, it stays broken. A great strength of the web historically was that reloading the page made things work again.)
Other than that, it looked better than most such things I’ve seen.
