Some feedback:

When I was going through the wizard, I didn't know that I needed to click "add" or "save" throughout the process. I just filled out my info and clicked "Next". It wasn't until I got to the download tab that I realized that none of the information I entered was persisted.

Sure. I'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback!

You should show an example of how the generated resume will turn out. Aside from that I think the color scheme of the site is a little too vibrant--maybe tone down the purple a bit so the green call to actions stand out more.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll surely look into it.

And regarding the example, you should see how it will look on the Download page once you fill some of the information.

Hey guys! I've been working on this app for quite some time. This comes out of frustration of me not having a good looking and intuitive Resume generator cause why not? Resume building should not be boring stuff. Also, the app works offline perfectly fine. Thanks to the ServiceWorker.

This is still in its early beta stage. I'm planning to add more features into the same in future.

What technologies have you used to create the web app?

I've used Angular Material for front end stuff, localStorage for storing data locally and Service Worker to make the app usable offline.

Did you create the resume templates yourself?

How do you download the resume as html once you have entered the data into the app?

Yeah. I've created the resume templates myself and it won't download the resume as HTML, rather it uses browsers in-built capability to print HTML as PDF which we can download.
