Here's an example of a simple resumé [0].
You can see in the "Quick Start" section how the resumé template is used, which is very similar to how you described yours.
LaTex is a dark art and I just repeat basic incantations learned from the elder boards.
But, I cannot bring myself to write docs in a web browser and use web app storage. I have a personality disorder that requires me to use a local text editor for personal use cases.
Also I will buy a perpetual license for software. Like sublime text i just renewed a 3 year license to text+merge.
I get that subscription licensing is better for the dev business but I can’t do it.
The UX has been simply amazing, there is a VSCode extension that allows you to have the raw text content open in one tab on the left and the pdf on the right, with it updating everytime you save.
I also think it has translated to better grades, given some of the marks come from structure and presentation! For example, in my last essay I was using Binary Search Trees, wouldn't you know, there's a package that allows you to draw them easily!
Seriously, I can't sing it's praises enough. I'm sure if I was doing some more complex writing Latex may be the more appropriate choice but Typst's plug-n-play approach has been so smooth
