After about a month and a half of development, I am proud to officially launch <a href="https://www.onlineresume.dev/">onlineresume.dev</a>, an online resume builder I developed.
I created it because I found existing solutions frustrating, either due to high monthly costs (up to €30!) or the hassle of editing outdated PDFs in Photoshop or with free, limited tools.
I built OnlineResume.dev with the technologies I know best: React JS, Tailwind, NodeJS/Express, Puppeteer (to generate the PDF), Docker (for easy deployment) as far as the main tools are concerned.
It’s hosted on a truly free VPS through <a href="https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/">Oracle Cloud Free Tier plan</a>, offering 1 GB of RAM, 45 GB of storage, and 1 Oracle CPU (OCPU), equivalent to 2 virtual CPUs on other providers, according to <a href="https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/post/vcpu-and-ocpu-pricing-information">Oracle</a>. Not bad for a free VPS! For comparison, a similar setup would cost at least $6 per month on Digital Ocean.
My goal is to create a no-nonsense, simple, and user-friendly web app to create resumes
It has a free plan that allows the user to download 5 PDF resumes. Two resume templates are available for now, with more on the way to give users even more design options.
