Resumv: a resume editor you can deploy as a static site

Resumv is an open-source resume editor released under the MIT license, allowing users to build and deploy their own static site for editing and viewing resumes. It leverages the Astro and React frameworks to provide a streamlined experience without the need for a user database or authentication service. The project incorporates 15 pre-designed resume templates, PDF rendering capabilities, and supports various export formats, including DOCX, Markdown, and JSON.

All processing occurs on the client-side, meaning there is no need for server-side storage or maintenance of resume records. Content is saved locally using the browser's localStorage feature, which means it is tied to the user's device and browser profile. Users can export their resume data using JSON backup and import functionality, ensuring they have a way to recover their work in case of device changes or clearing browser data.

Markdown and JSON exports provide a convenient way to maintain and transfer resume data across different devices, while the DOCX format allows for editable documents. However, the current implementation has some limitations, such as primarily supporting Latin-script resumes and not yet offering comprehensive Chinese typography support.

The browser's performance and storage behavior play a crucial role in the user experience, as all resume editing and export processes happen directly in the browser. While the technology does not require a server, the site still needs to be hosted on a static web server. Users should be aware of potential limitations, such as the loss of resume data if they clear their browser data or change devices.

Feedback from users who self-host small tools and those editing resumes is welcome to help improve the tool's usability and address any identified issues.
