Show HN: A resume renderer that auto-fits your content to one page

1 point

I built Resumx because every time I added or removed a bullet, I had to re-fight page breaks, adjust spacing, and nudge margins to fit one page.

It gets worse if you maintain more than one version for different roles, now you're doing that across multiple files.

Write your resume in a single .md file, run resumx resume.md, get PDFs, HTML, or DOCX. Use views to batch-render tailored variants in one command.

Highlights:

1. Automatic page fitting: Set pages: 1. Add or remove content freely, typography and spacing scale to always land on exactly one page.

2. Tailoring from one file: Tag content with .@frontend or .@backend class, render with --for frontend. One source, many tailored outputs.

3. AI agent skills: Come with skills so Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, or any agent-skill-compatible AI can tailor your resume to a job posting.

4. Built-in validation: Flags missing info, weak bullets, and formatting issues before you send. Use as a pre-commit hook.

5. Opinionated defaults: ATS-friendly, research-backed layout and typography.

6. Escape hatches: 30+ style options, Tailwind CSS, custom CSS, 200k+ icons.

The docs include a playbook covering the research behind the design decisions.
