What it is

TesseractCV sits in the gap between free resume templates and thirty-dollar-a-month subscriptions. A form-driven editor feeds both the live preview and the PDF renderer from one shared document model, so the exported file matches what was on screen — preview-to-export drift being the most common complaint about competing tools. Users control margins, fonts, spacing, and section order, reorder entries by drag and drop, and keep several tailored versions per account with autosave. The codebase is arranged in clean-architecture layers, keeping domain and use-case code free of framework detail so the persistence, auth, and PDF adapters stay replaceable.

What it does

  • Form editor with drag-and-drop section and entry reordering
  • Live preview rendered from the same model as the PDF export
  • Layout control over margins, fonts, spacing, and section order
  • PDF export via react-pdf, no headless browser required
  • Multiple resumes per account with autosave
  • PDF and DOCX import parsed into the document model
  • Clean-architecture layering with a server-only data access layer
  • Email/password and OAuth sign-in
