#22Really good project. The only issue that I am facing is entire resume is messed up while printing it from Firefox. Everything else is perfect!
Oh, yeah. I just noticed that. I guess that's an issue with Firefox's parsing of print CSS. Really unfortunate for them to not adhere to so many print CSS rules, considering Mozilla is pretty good when it comes to adopting new web technologies.
Sadly, I can't suggest any fix except using Safari or Chrome for now. I will look into what can be done to fix the issues regarding Firefox soon. Thank you for bringing this to my attention :)

#23This is a great app! But it is so weird seeing photos on a CV. In the UK it is almost totally unheard of. And most large organisations will have an HR department which would blank them out. Your CV is for judging your work history and experience. What can I learn from a photo that I would legally be able to take a decision about?
I read lots of CVs in the UK and do occasionally get pictures from non-natives. I find it very odd and would strongly discourage people from doing it. I'm not going to give you a job because of the way you look. I don't even care if you're human. You could be a dog but if you've got the chops and fit the team then I'll pay you in crunchy dog treats if that's what you want. I just don't understand what people are trying to achieve with their picture on the CV.

For the context of this app and in general, I would agree.
While I was at PyCon, I had prepped a version of my resume that had my photo on it, and during the job fair I shared them with folks and companies that interested me.
I figured, if there's any chance of someone remembering a person and wanted to recommend them, a photo would go well with the name and info. But maybe it was ineffective :) I didn't think it would hurt to include, at the very least.

#25I 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.
Hmm, that's weird. I had stress-tested the color options as much as I could. Even now, when I enter gibberish in the text field, it just doesn't do anything as the CSS is invalid. No reason the app should crash. But anyway, I'll try to add some validation across the app so that this doesn't happen again. For now, to fix any issues at all, you only need to clear your local storage of the site. Here's how you can clear…
Still hitting problems. I enter some details, pick what I think is the third theme, choose a shade of orange, then in the accent colour field press backspace, and it dies.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
Photographs on a Resume, I've heard is a standard in the EU. That's what I was told when I was applying to Jobs in Germany. And it's pretty common here in India as well. But I completely understand where you are coming from. Photos can cause bias in the hiring process and it's certainly debatable. That's why I've provided the option to either add an image or not have one, and designed the templates especially to fit…
That’s really interesting! I’ve never gotten a resume with a photo here in the US.
It used to be the expected norm, but nowadays a lot of the larger companies actively say they don't want pics, and depending on job sector, more and more people tend to not include them regardless.

In the US there is a lot of law that makes employment discrimination illegal for a number of classes of people.
IANAL: I don't know if it is outright illegal to request a picture but it sure seems like a great way to open yourself up to a lawsuit.

#28This is a really neat project! Good job.

#29Really love this, nice job!
Curious, do you have any interest in having the ability to import/export from the various cloud storage vendors (Dropbox, GDrive, possibly even Github Gist), or do you feel like it would go against the offline/"no servers" theme of the app?
