Reactive Resume is a free, open-source resume builder designed for users prioritizing privacy and customization. It offers a secure, self-hostable platform for creating, updating, and sharing professional resumes with features like real-time editing, multiple templates, and AI-powered writing assistance.

How It Works

The platform utilizes a modern tech stack with React (Vite) for the frontend and NestJS for the backend, powered by a PostgreSQL database managed via Prisma ORM. It employs Minio for object storage (PDFs, previews) and Browserless for PDF generation. Authentication is handled via GitHub/Google OAuth, with email support. This architecture emphasizes portability and ease of self-hosting, allowing users to maintain complete data ownership.
