What has and end, has a beginning, too (and it's great)

Hello!

We are working on delivering the most awesome resume generator you've ever experienced. For once, the anxiety doesn't speak through me. We found that there is often a financial barrier to getting a good resume, and we aim to change that by providing a free and open-source solution.

It's going to be a multi-platform desktop application written in Electron and React (and probably a dozen other libraries). Initially, we used Next and FastAPI to work on a web app, but we think that the former stack might fit our needs better. We started to work on a proof of concept that would determine if this is a viable solution. 

We are a small team, and handling stuff like authentication and aligning with GDPA regulations may be a bit too much for us. But, essentially, Electron seems to handle generating PDF documents better than any React library that we've used so far. It would make our application less accessible, but we believe that it's our best bet.

We'll certainly keep you posted!
