Show HN: A LaTeX resume builder that compiles offline in the browser
Whenever my juniors used to ask me how to build an ATS-friendly resume, I used to advise them to create a LaTeX resume. I'd share a .tex file with my template.
They opened it, copied and pasted it into Overleaf, compiled it, and whoa - it generated my resume.
Then they went through the complex LaTeX code, figuring out what to change and where, ran into hundreds of errors, and even AI-generated code gave them bugs.
Resume contains personal information, which students hesitate to share with everyone.
To solve exactly this problem, I created a small tool: "IhateLaTex"
IhateLaTex.com
It's the first free, offline LaTeX resume builder, without going through complex code. It works offline, right in your browser, without saving your sensitive information in any server.

- someshjoyguru 2mo agoI hosted the Wasm runtime inside a Web Worker, and compilation runs on a background OS thread. The worker reads the binary file from MEMFS into a JavaScript Uint8Array. I am writing a detailed engineering blog for it. Here's my newsletter: someshjoyguru.com/newsletter
