Thank you for the post. we will have a look at it and get back. we have tried to incorporate as many professional cv "rules" as we could.

We are thinking of local storage. There were multiple challenges related to it. Sending all data at once would make save slower. and when you save some small change a lot of data would have to be resaved at once. By splitting the data save into chunks we thought would give best performance - user experience balance. We will rethink on this and get back to you. thank you for your time :)

oh ok. We will try to stick with LaTeX :)

Certainly not. You can be assured of that! We have a try without sign-up just for the people who dont want to spend time in sign-ups / dont trust us enough. Its just that when we want to contact you for a genuine reason say send a mailer about a new template thats available we want that to reach you, specially since we spend on the emails being sent! And any list of such temporary emails are not enough to safegaurd us from this problem. But we will most surely re-think on how to solve this problem.

Yes. We see your point. Will see if there is an alternative for that. Not sure wether we want to do away with hyphens. They look pretty good. http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Classic.... we will get back to you on this. thanks.

nice indeed :) all the best! when you say inspired its not LaTeX underneath?

sorry for that! :(

Thanks a lot for spending your time listing everything here. means a lot! sorry for the non-ascii bit. we will fix it as soon as possible.

Thank you for that. Will look into it and get back to you. We are just starting out. Sorry for any short comings :)

Sorry about that. For now you can use these links for template previews: http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Modern.p... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Leadersh... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Euro.pdf http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Standard... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Article.... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Classic.... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Contempo... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Urbane.p...

Thank you for giving it a try :) For the monetizing bit. Frankly we have no idea! we wanted people to LaTeX and make amazing resumes. We are thinking hard on how to keep this going. Premium templates, Paid publicly hosted resumes are some of the ideas we have. Not sure what way we will be treading.

sure :) Thanks a lot.

We preffered LaTeX because of its stunning results. You should look at sample resume we created http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Modern.p... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Leadersh... http://www.cvsintellect.com/img/home/sample-resumes/Euro.pdf

Thanks a lot for the pointers :) we will try to see if Danish universities would be interested in us. And for being dependent on the app. Yes you will have to depend on us for the awesome templates we will provide and you will not feel bad about being dependent! ;)

[copied from above comment] Certainly not. You can be assured of that! We have a try without sign-up just for the people who dont want to spend time in sign-ups / dont trust us enough. Its just that when we want to contact you for a genuine reason say send a mailer about a new template thats available we want that to reach you, specially since we spend on the emails being sent!

Amazing :) you should have a look at our credits page https://www.cvsintellect.com/public/page/credits on what we used to build this tool. You can ask for any further information which we will try our best to provide them! :)

Just dropin a mail (through contact us) requesting for the Tex script. We will be happy to provide it :)

1) We are in a specific domain and understand the problems better 2) You dont need to know LaTeX to use our site. 3) LaTeX is code you will need to maintain it while here its just data that needs to be updated. 4) Changing template in LaTeX can be hard, its a re-write, here it would be 2-3 clicks 5) we will introduce custom templates which you will not find anywhere :)

Yes they usually use HTML and then convert it to PDF. This leads to a lot of problems in alignment etc & the print quality is also not great. And for the LaTeX templates. We are currently using existing templates. We plan to allow create custom templates soon :)

Yes. Clicking on the save is not very evident. While once you know that you need to click on save that info is redundant and hence we have kept it hidden when you are not on the form. We are thinking of ways of making it more evident the first time. For the non-ascii bit. We are in beta (just a month being public). We are working on making it perfect! :)

We haven't come across anyone who uses LaTeX for creating your resume and is free. And why is LaTeX so special? Here are a few reasons: http://nitens.org/taraborelli/latex and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX

We are thinking about this. We want to open-source most of the stuff but not the security related code. Infact we have started an open-source project to teach our learning from the project http://cvsintellect.tumblr.com/post/57157924548/open-source-.... We will think a bit more on this and get back to you. Thanks for your interest.

We are sorry about that. That was certainly not the intention though! We will do something about this and get back to you.

Certainly not. You can be assured of that! We have a try without sign-up just for the people who dont want to spend time in sign-ups / dont trust us enough. Its just that when we want to contact you for a genuine reason say send a mailer about a new template thats available we want that to reach you, specially since we spend on the emails being sent!

Yes :) Its a step towards changing the way CVs / Resumes are made!

Yes. We understand. We are actively thinking of solving the problem. Sorry & Thanks for your time.

Thanks a lot for the feedback :) we have been thinking on how to push it. Its time saving, quality is amazing. We want to leverage LaTeX usage but people outside academia are not very aware of it. But we will rethink about it!

yes. this is basically to stop people from signing up from mailinator kind of email ids. For now you can either use a gmail, yahoo, msn, rediff, hotmail or even do OAuth signin from facebook & linkedin. You can even try without sign-up :)

yes. we will look into each issue and try to iron it out. we are in beta. (about a month that we became public). will get back to you when the issue is fixed. thanks for your time.

we would like to think that people having LaTeX resumes are more probable of accepting our product since they already know of the quality. Now why would they use us instead of making it themselves. primarily 2 reasons: 1. LaTeX is code and you will need to maintain it, while on our system it would just be data you will need to update 2. changing template of your resume would mean rewriting the whole thing while on our system it would mean 2-3 clicks (it is our responsibilty to give you that good a template that you are willing to change :))

and for small consultancies. sure, we wil try to talk to them, try to sell it to them. Thanks.
