A while back I shared a small pet project I’d built for myself to tweak my resume quickly: Less Resume (link below). It was a bit rough around the edges, but it did the job. I was honestly surprised when a few people started using it and messaged me asking for fixes.

The idea was simple. There are plenty of apps for making a basic resume, but almost all of them want something first: a subscription, an account, or a one-off payment just to export. I wanted something I could open, fix and download in a couple of minutes, without trying to remember which tool I’d used last time.

I’ve just shipped an update:
- A much nicer UI, with proper animations.
- A completely new PDF export. Instead of html2canvas + jsPDF, it now renders on the server with headless Chromium, using the same layout you see in the editor. The PDF matches the preview exactly, the file is small, and the text is real, selectable text, so ATS systems can read it.

It’s still deliberately simple and minimal. It does the job for me, so hopefully it’s useful to someone else too.

I’m busy with a few bigger projects, but resume history and versions, AI proofreading and writing help, and optional accounts are on the roadmap.

What won’t change: you’ll always be able to use it without an account to make or edit a resume quickly, and that will always be free.

this is such fucking bullshit. foldables have been around for almost 10 years, and the iPhone Duo launch did more for app optimization than Google did that whole time. and now they've decided to give optimized apps more visibility next year, while Apple won't even let devs push updates without recompiling on the new SDK.

Google should've shipped a dev-friendly SDK and pushed developers to optimize like 5 years ago, not waited until Apple entered the market.

Been thinking about iPhone Duo for a few days, but I really love Z Fold 8. I need another iPhone for some pet project-related stuff, but maybe I should consider 18 Pro. Having two foldables does not make too much sense.

@Glebcha @bekharsky > Ну а смысл выпускать потом минорное обновление с новым процессором.

его не будет, м6 дальше базового вряд ли будут развивать и сразу будет м7/м7 про

[vlad/r @_architected]

k there actually are some optimizations

Here is the same contextual menu on macOS activated via pointer (left) and touch

macOS automatically detects touch input and spaces out items a little bit more in the UI

[vlad/r @_architected]

wait, they didn't optimize a single thing in macOS for touch? even Windows does that lmao

i love the idea of an OLED panel in the MacBook (even though the mini-LED was kinda fine for me), but a touchscreen... idk. the laptop i'm daily driving right now (Zenbook S 16) has both OLED and a touchscreen, and i can't remember the last time i touched it with my finger. and i don't think i ever will.

the new MacBooks are great, but it's kinda sad that getting the entry-level Pro chip in a MacBook Pro now costs almost $3,000. it was $2,000 just a few years ago.

[vlad/r @_architected]

@mixammo2 Не остаются

@JamAncheta @markgurman This isn't the reason; they start selling baseline M6 MacBooks in 3 minutes.

i couldn't afford the first iPhone when it came out, so i saved up for a long time and got one used with a cracked screen. i was so happy just holding it and playing with the multi-touch screen.

i've had every single generation since (except the 18 Pro/Duo).

i truly believe Apple does the best industrial design and the most human-centered UI, and no one does it better. they completely reinvented smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, laptops, and wireless headphones, and they keep doing great stuff.

i'm only on Android right now because i got bored and i'm in my tinkering era. i know i'll switch back to iPhone eventually, until i get bored again lol.

the Duo is weird, but i'm glad it exists. people who wanted a foldable but never wanted to leave the iOS ecosystem finally have a solid option. and people who've been using Android foldables will now have way more developers optimizing their apps for foldables on both platforms.

in 2007, the moment i saw the first iphone, i applied for a job at a local pizza hut to save up and buy it. i was 17.

in 2010, i pulled over on the side of a highway to watch the ipad keynote. that’s how impressed and excited i was.

i haven’t missed a single apple keynote or event in 20 years. so yeah, when i say something is wrong with their products, it doesn’t come from random hatred, it comes from caring enough to be disappointed.

that being said, apple at its lowest point is still light years ahead of the rest of the industry when it comes to designing and manufacturing products with deep care for the people who use them. and i have no doubt they’ll get it right in future updates.

@Dieselboy Это нормально для любого фолда (да и в целом у любого телефона есть процент брака). Их не так много и эппл сразу меняет их на новый без каких либо вопросов.

@DemicLive 60Hz; iPadOS is weird on the iPad mini, and it does not fit in the pocket.

@mixammo2 iPhone X и до 13 pro, "е" линейка, Switch OLED. На ноутбуках раньше тоже был популярен у всяких рейзеров, синкпадов и та. Это не что то нестандартное
