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!

This looks really nice. A really good feature to have would be able to have version history of the resume so I can revert or just see how the resume has changed over time.

I will definitely look into the possibility of having this on, although I suspect my database would blow up if I were to implement this on the cloud.

I cheeked out the homepage and saw a photo on the header. Shouldn’t you discourage use of an image on a resume?

doesn’t that put some people at risk to racial bias?

Entirely up to the user. All of the templates adapt depending on whether there’s a picture or not, so no one’s experience is hindered. But it’s true, it is discouraged in some regions, for good reason, but also expected in many other regions or industries.

Depending on the country, adding an image to your resume is still pretty standard.
