Thanks! I'll work to get the print stylesheet onto the private url, that's a pretty important one I think.

I think that would be better too, that's my fault for hiding it behind that extra page. I'll look into bringing those up to the front. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Creddle offers more theme customization than many other resume sites; themes are a set of customizations rather than a fixed template. Technically you can transform one theme into another. If you want to stand out, add more customization t

You can change the section headings under "Header Value" for each section under the customizer so that "Summary" can be "Objective" or "Employment" can be "Experience", but that's my fa

The auto-sizing can be hit or miss since it keeps font sizes relative, but there are still a few tricks that you can try. I can suggest trying the following: increase padding (under "Resume Layout"); increase nameplate and sectio

At the very least I can write something to detect letter-spacing being all whack to prevent this before I dig a little deeper into the root cause.

You can! Creddle can import some of your information from your LinkedIn profile if you sign up with your LinkedIn account. A few users reported a 500 error on importing which I'm looking into now, so let me know if you also have trou

When resume appearance isn't important or applying for jobs is done primarily through online networking, Creddle isn't a good solution. For the people for whom resumes are still an important part of the job application process, th

Yup my design skills can only go so far (: And I'd imagine it would be a fun project for a designer.

Yikes! That's new, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll look to recreate and fix this up as well.

by cpcarey 12y ago
That's a really great suggestion. I'll be able to clear up as much vagueness as I can regarding the future of the project.

Not being defensive, but I'm actually curious about why it made you feel saddened, because maybe we share the same thought. The headline "paper-friendly" comes from my frustration with other resume building web sites that I&#

No totally understandable. The biggest limitation right now is only supporting one page resumes. I want to support multi page resumes, but still leave in automatic font sizing, which can get tricky if sections span over a page break. I ha

I hate that too. I wouldn't remove the free and put the current functionality behind a paywall, but I'd still want to leave open the possibility of new functionality as paid add-ons if I go that route (like premium themes as prev

Yes, I was excited when I saw JSON Resume on HN this summer. I wasn't able to fit it in with all of the other things I was working on, but I think it makes sense, especially as more people use it. JSON Resume has more in their standa

Do you mean for hire one for Creddle or hire one to design your own resume? Either way, I've seen some beautifully designed resumes done by professional designers.

by cpcarey 12y ago
Yes, I looked into it a few years ago when I was working on my own resume. I wanted to customize mine more and I didn't like the page breaks. It doesn't look like it's been updated since then.

by cpcarey 12y ago
Yeah! I do have some ideas for more themes and customization options that could fit under a premium one-time purchase model.

I agree, I'll revise the language. Any suggestions for an alternative to "Get Started"? Thanks for the help!

I feel bad this never crossed my mind. The formatting adjusts to whatever bounds are set, in this case 8.5 x 11, so theoretically it shouldn't be hard to add the ability to choose a paper size. I'll look into it adding it soon.

by cpcarey 12y ago
I never thought of this. I'll look into it, I think it's a pretty good idea!

by cpcarey 12y ago
Eww you're right, that was sloppy on my part. I'll fix it. Thanks!

by cpcarey 12y ago
Thanks! It's definitely something I want to add. A UI for managing content between multiple resumes can get complicated fast, so I'm still working through the UI sketches. But I agree, I think it would be a killer feature.

by cpcarey 12y ago
Thanks for the feedback, you're absolutely right and I'll make it more clear on the landing page. There might be some new functionality in the future that would make up a paid service, but all of the current functionality is mean

Like others in the thread, I'm also impressed with how quickly and clearly the landing page video demonstrated the basic functionality. I think you hit the sweet spot with the simplicity of the functionality shown. As you add features

I ran into the same problem, then found that the phone number wasn't required to make an account.

I like the concept! Because you need friends who also have installed FrameParty, I think that an "invite friends" function right in the app would help. I was hoping to be able to send an app download link to a couple of Facebook

Personally, I need to see what I'm signing up for before I make an account for anything. You need to show us what it does!
