Hey r/selfhosted, get ready to craft your story like never before!

I’m thrilled to announce that Reactive Resume has just launched its latest version, and it's a game-changer in the resume-building space (at least, I’d like to think so).

Here’s a glimpse of some of the new features:

  • A sleek, polished user interface that makes navigation a breeze.
  • Faster PDF generation to get your resume out there quicker.
  • Integration with OpenAI for smarter assistance.
  • Brand new, highly customisable templates to fit your unique style.
  • Comprehensive documentation with user-friendly guides.
  • Enhanced security with two-factor authentication.
  • Available in multiple languages, contributed by the community.
  • Quality of life features such as locking resumes, adding personal notes to resumes, tracking views and downloads on your public resume etc.

The best part? It’s 100% free, forever! No ads, no user tracking, just pure resume-building bliss. Plus, for the tech-savvy, it’s also open-source on GitHub and self-hostable through Docker, something special just for this community.

Ready to give it a spin?
You can visit the website on https://rxresu.me, sure. But you're on r/selfhosted, so you're probably more interested in the "how to host it myself" part of the launch. The link to the repository is right here: https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume/

Self-hosting Reactive Resume is super simple, compared to the nightmare it was in earlier versions having to ensure multiple services are communicating alright. You can check the GitHub repo (under tools/compose for many docker compose examples of how the project could be set up).

I'm excited to see how you make the most of it!

I didn't have the time to spin it up locally so I took a look at your hosted version and noticed there's no custom CSS section. Is this missing in the self-hosted version too? If so, I'll stay with my still working v3.

Also, do you have any links for adapting/creating my own template? Some issues are difficult to fix with CSS only.

I've kept the Custom CSS section dormant for now because the templates themselves aren't too well adapted with custom classes/IDs etc to correctly work with custom CSS. I've kept it off for a later release until I can do it properly, but it'll definitely be a feature soon.

As for the issues you can't fix with CSS, I'm afraid the only way is to build the project locally and develop a template of your own, which isn't too difficult if you know TailwindCSS. I plan on writing a guide for this as well.
