A simple and easy tool to write your resume in HTML and export it in PDF

PDF résumé from HTML

This code lets you write your résumé in HTML + CSS and then compiles it to PDF

Why?

I don't own a licensed copy of Microsoft Word. I don't want to buy a copy just for creating a résumé. Google Docs and LibreOffice is not powerful enough for extreme formatting. I gave LaTeX a shot, but it appears to be a wrong tool to choose for something like a résumé. So here I go. I'm using HTML+CSS for resume.

How to start developing?

• To set up, you need to run sudo ./configure (currently only Arch Linux and Ubuntu is supported)
• How I develop is I run make watch-build which will start compiling PDF from HTML every 2 seconds.
• Then the index.html can be opened in a browser is a live reload/hot reload mode, so you don't have to refresh
• Don't forget to check the output of the PDF format to verify if it's matching the HTML
