In plain English

Build-yo-resume is a client-side resume builder and scoring tool that runs entirely in your browser, with no server or account needed. You edit your resume as a JSON document using a built-in code editor that highlights syntax errors in real time. The app then renders a live preview of your resume formatted to standard A4 page dimensions, showing where page breaks will fall so you know exactly what will print. The ATS evaluator is a central feature. ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System, the software many employers use to screen resumes before a human reads them. The evaluator scans your JSON and scores your resume out of 100 based on whether you have filled in contact fields, professional links, education details, work experience durations, and enough technical keywords. The score updates as you type, with no server calls. Exporting to PDF works through the browser's native print dialog. The app applies a print stylesheet that removes the UI panels, resets scales, and enforces A4 page breaks, producing a vector PDF with selectable text rather than a rasterized image. This keeps file sizes small and text copyable. The style customizer lets you adjust fonts, side and top margins, and line spacing before downloading. The page preview can be zoomed from 80 to 150 percent on screen, but the app is designed for desktop use: on screens narrower than 1024 pixels, a message replaces the workspace. The project uses React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS v4, with Bun as the package manager and development server. Running it locally requires Bun installed, then two commands to install dependencies and start the development server.
