💡 Why this tool?

Most resume builders (like Canva) prioritize aesthetics over algorithms. While they look great to humans, they are often unreadable to machines.

The Problem:

• Multi-column layouts confuse parsers.
• Tables, graphics, and icons hide text.
• Non-semantic HTML leads to "broken" data.

The Solution:

• Linear Structure: Guaranteed reading order.
• Semantic HTML: Proper use of <section>, <h1>, and <ul> tags.
• Content Focus: Prioritizing readability over layout gimmicks.

🧠 Design Principles

• ATS > Aesthetics: Functionality for the job hunt first.
• Zero Backend: Maximum speed and security.
• Privacy First: No data ever leaves your machine.
• Instant Feedback: What you see is what the system gets.
