Hey HN,

I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for the past few months. As someone who has spent countless hours tweaking my resume for different job applications, I wanted to find a way to make this process more efficient and effective. So, I built a website that tailors your resume for each job you apply for.

You can check it out here: https://resume.ink

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Cheers, Sami

Also you can download the tailored resume for free if you use code “DEMO” (No account is needed)

Can you discuss the data privacy? What happens to my resume if I upload it to you? Are you retaining it? Are you keeping my email and sending me marketing stuff etc etc etc?

That's a great suggestion, I'll add a FAQ section to answer these.

Is this a message from heaven? Is the holy Hacker News now God’s preferred vehicle for answering prayers, yonder the silicon curtain far beyond?

We have a version of this for JSON Resume, just append /letter if you use the registry

This is so cool!

I think Resume.Ink is different because it generates a new PDF resume tailored specifically to the job you're applying to. While JSON Resume generates a cover letter. I think they actually complement each other quite well.
