#2Hey all! latexresu.me is a website for generating LaTeX resumes easily.
Basically, you just choose a template, fill in as much (or as little) info as you want, and click "Preview Resume" at any point to see your current generated PDF. You can switch your template on the fly at any point and once you're happy with your results you can download the PDF or the generated LaTeX source code. Please let me know what you guys think!

Hmm, maybe it isn't completely intuitive. You actually need to click on the menu at the top right to navigate between sections on mobile.

#6Nice work. Should also add sections for summary, languages, & interests.
Any plans to add an option to import/export your resume to jsonresume format (https://jsonresume.org/).

Thanks! I was definitely planning on adding an import/export feature so that you don't have to keep starting from scratch, so I can try to see if I can make it compatible with jsonresume too.

#8I love the idea, however:
- Dark colors on black don't work that well, just makes the UI-text hard to read. Couldn't you add some more contrast? Or even better, switch to a white background and just use black text.
- I'd also love to see some more appealing templates. I recognize the templates you have from open source Latex CV templates, too bad I don't think any of them looks very good.
- Would be nice if I could sign in with LinkedIn and have it import my data.
Great idea, looking forward to seeing it improve.

Oh that's a very odd UX. I'd suggest at least a previous next button on each page. But keep the menu for global navigation.
Nice site.

Yep, that's a good idea. And thanks!
