New feature drop on Reactive Resume: Application Tracking

Maybe this is a stupid question but does it pull from Linkedin or indeed? Or do you have to create the entries yourself?

New feature drop on Reactive Resume: Application Tracking

Thank you for this! I have a question about the app because I think I'm using it incorrectly (or at least, not in the way you intended). Here's how I use it right now: - I have a single resume that contains as much detail as I can reasonably fit into each of my jobs. This resume is far too long to submit to a company. - When I see an opportunity, I use the job description and the MCP to read my single long resume and then craft a resume that is custom built for this job opportunity. It basically distills all of the information that's specifically valuable to that exact opportunity. The challenge I am facing is that I then accumulate dozens of one-off resumes that I need to delete. 99.9% of the job opportunities never respond and it just feels like accumulated trash that I occasionally go through and just wipe out.

Am i fundamentally using this incorrectly?

🚀 Introducing Reactive Resume v4, a free and open-source resume builder!

It was okayish tbh. The process of creating the resume itself is amazing and I will definitely use it for my next CV. But I want to give you some insight of my experience so far. A few possibilities to improve (IMHO):

- If something is advertised as selfhostable, I want to see the "standard" `docker-compose.yml` right in the README on the corresponding GitHub repository. In your repo I cannot find it in the readme and there is no section in the documentation. So I really have to search for the compose file, which is not the best experience. - The complete selfhosting process is not documented at all or at least I didn't find something in an acceptable amount of time. At least I want to know what `environment variables` are available for your docker image and what values are my options. I took the "simple" docker-compose file because I have my own reverse proxy and don't need another npm or traefik instance. In that file is a lot of stuff that I don't need. It would be nice to have some documentation with the following information: what is the minimal compose file working and what are the parts of the example compose file that I have to change (for example changing the password of the database, tokens etc.). - If I want to use it as a local singleuser system it would be nice to be able to create an account through the environment variables. At the moment I have to "register" myself after deployment and without a SMTP server (which is never needed again after the registration) I cannot verify my account. It's not a huge problem but it annoyed me tbh :D In the settings there will be forever the warning "account not verified yet". - Uploading a picture as a profile pic doesn't work. The app container is not able to resolve the name of the minio container. I cannot see a problem with my configuration at the moment but it's possible that I am tired now and I missconfigured something while making all that changes to the example docker-compose file. :D - Another small one: The DIV element on the settings page (containing all the forms) is not even the half of my screen. That's nice, because like that the forms are very readable, but I cannot scroll when my mouse is on the right side of my monitor. Obviously because I have to hover over the DIV to scroll by my mouse. The usability would be better if the DIV is extended full screen but visually it stays like it is. At least IMO. But overall, like I said, a very nice project. Looking forward to build my CV with it.

New feature drop on Reactive Resume: Application Tracking

Hello there.

I've only ever had a job for 6 months before starting my own thing; however, there have been way too many instances where colleagues have asked for assistance with resume building (before the AI age) and I've used Reactive Resume to build them a killer CV.

It felt good to see that it's still in active development.

I had some issues with the default MinIO configuration too, but it was because the URL was wrong. You need to include the bucket in the URL for it to work:

STORAGE_URL: https://storage.mydomain.com/default I also fiddle with the permissions and made the bucket public, but I'm not sure if that was needed.
