What is minimalist-resumebuilder?

Minimalist ResumeBuilder is a web app that helps people create resumes tailored for automated screening systems used by many employers. It pairs a form-based editor with an AI assistant, so users can build, review, and adjust their resumes using plain language instructions. The app is built with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS, and it uses Google's Gemini AI models for its assistant features. The form editor covers standard resume sections like personal information, education, projects, and work experience. Users can reorder sections by dragging them, add custom sections for things like certifications or languages, and choose from serif and sans-serif fonts including a LaTeX-inspired style. The layout is designed to match standard A4 page dimensions, keeps everything on one page, and lets users export to Word files or print to PDF. The AI assistant sidebar lets users edit their resume conversationally. You can type instructions such as adding a project or rewriting a job description, then review and apply the proposed changes with one click. The assistant can also parse an uploaded PDF or pasted text and fill in the form fields automatically. A reviewer feature grades the resume, gives a quality score, and offers suggestions. A job tailoring feature takes a pasted job description and adjusts resume content to match its keywords. To run the project locally, you need Node.js version 18 or 20 or higher. After installing dependencies and starting the development server, you open the app in your browser and paste a Gemini API key into the settings panel. The key is stored in your browser's local storage and sent directly to Google. The project is also available as a Docker container from GitHub's package registry, and a Docker Compose setup is included for local builds. The code is open source under the MIT License.
