ResumeTex

Thesis

No-code LaTeX CV builder. A form/editor UI that compiles to a LaTeX-typeset PDF, so non-engineers can get the look of a LaTeX CV without writing TeX.

Status

shipped (live at resumetex.vercel.app). Created 2024-11-19, last push 2025-05-31 — roughly six months of active development, then quiet.

Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js (App Router).
  • TeX: primary language per GitHub — implies server-side LaTeX compile step to generate PDFs.

Key decisions

  • Only decision visible from this source: build the frontend on Next.js + Vercel, compile TeX somewhere (server/function).

Provisional

README is boilerplate create-next-app output — no project-specific content was extracted. The thesis and stack above are inferred from the repo description ("NoCode Latex CV builder"), homepage, language, and timeline. Needs a README or a note from Zaid to populate:

  • LaTeX compile path (API route? external service? precompiled templates + variable substitution?)
  • Template library (recruiter-friendly? academic? custom?)
  • Export format (PDF only, or also .tex download?)
  • Distribution and usage

Pattern

Another instance of compressing mechanical labor — LaTeX is famously painful for non-engineers; this abstracts it away. Same thematic family as neploy (DevOps → git push), amboras (brand brief → storefront), vera (voice → schedule), orqys (ticket → PR).
