Reactive Resume

Reactive Resume is an open-source, privacy-first resume builder that simplifies creating, updating, exporting, and publishing resumes. It provides a browser-based editor with templates, real-time editing, and options to share a public resume link or export as PDF.

Key Features

• Privacy-first design with no telemetry, advertising, or user tracking by default
• Browser-based WYSIWYG editor with real-time editing and drag-and-drop layout customization
• Dozens of resume templates, font options, dark mode, and multi-language support
• Export resumes as PDF or JSON and publish a public resume page with view/download tracking
• Authentication via email, GitHub, or Google; supports two-factor authentication
• Optional OpenAI integration for assisted writing and resume editing
• Self-hostable (Docker) and designed for quick deployment; supports object storage for attachments

Use Cases

• Jobseekers who need a privacy-respecting tool to build and publish professional resumes
• Teams or communities creating standardized resume templates and providing resume tools to members
• Individuals who want exportable resumes (PDF/JSON) and a sharable public resume link for recruiters

Limitations and Considerations

• Some features require external services when self-hosting: an SMTP server for email, OAuth providers for third-party sign-in, and a headless-browser service for server-side PDF rendering
• Optional integrations (error tracking, translations, OpenAI) require separate accounts or API keys and are not enabled by default

Reactive Resume is a practical, open-source solution for creating and publishing resumes with a strong focus on user privacy and portability. It balances user-friendly editing and template-driven output with deployable architecture for personal or organization-hosted instances.
