It's unclear $10 is monthly, yearly or just a one time payment for now. Other than that, very nice work!
It's a one-time payment. But thanks for letting me know. I need to make that clear on the PRO page itself.

#42Nice App. But adding a Buddhist monk is very bad. You can't do that. It's shame. You may not be an Buddhist. But for us this is like jesus as my mascot. This is shameless marketing you are trying to do with insulting a religion. I don't like to discuss here something like this. But this is bad.
Are buddhists sensitive about imagery? Somehow I don't think buddha would be upset over images of himself - why should he be? As for other monks, why should they be? Why should an image be considered an insult?

....what? Excuse me for coming off as blunt here, but are you actually Buddhist?

#44Buddhist monks and the pursuit of a career are to me a weird match, but an inversion of values is not an uncommon marketing approach. As for the design: it's not consistent enough just yet, do you know what you want? Right now you're mixing smooth and pixelated in a weird way. The font for "Get started with your resume" clashes with the enormous Open Sans.
Thanks for your inputs. I just wanted to get the first version up and running quickly so I believe that I still need to fix a lot of things.
I will definitely pay more attention to the consistency and the overall look and feel of the design in the next iteration.

#45I read the T&C page but didn't see any words that promised that my resume remains private and protected, under my control to share and display. Did I miss something? Actually it looks like from the T&C page that any resume entered becomes your property to do pretty much anything with. This doesn't encourage me to use your site, I'm afraid.

I like the website, but you're not getting much information above the fold on ye olde MacBook.

#47The site is really nice as a first application. Btw, are you a modernite by any chance?

I don't see how taking someone as a mascot is insulting to that person. It's not even a depiction of Siddhartha Gautama, anyway -- it'd be more analogous to a picture of a Dominican monk than of Jesus.
Besides, the Buddha was a very smart guy, and much-admired, but that doesn't mean his image need be jealously guarded. I don't see the harm in a little irreverence -- if anything, light-hearted treatment of idols serves as a helpful reminder that nothing should be taken too seriously... can you explain why, in this case, it provoked the reaction in you that it did?

#49One of those products which is super simple yet solves a deeper pain point for job seekers. Have used it & can recco it too.
But nothing beats, LaTex!
I suspect far more résumés are produced in MSWord than LaTeX, despite the worse results, so I guess that beats LaTeX on that count. Comes down to usability, I guess.
(I've used LyX for my résumé -- it seems the right balance for me between the discoverability & hand-holding of a word processor and the power & pretty output of TeX)

Having a image on Budda on a website does not matter. But this is a mascot of having a image of buddha and the author reproduced the buddha's image as a joke.
We don't like it. Ask your self? Would you like this product to be named as resumejesus? and a picture of jesus with a girl kissing him? We don't like that tooo. Because it is insulting a religion. I know most of here are not aware of Buddhism, So I may get unvoted. But I feel I'm right.
