How we built it

I wrote a contract in rust that enables you to

  1. List a resume template by specifying its price in yoctoNEAR, title, amount of sold unit, template image, template ID.
  2. Get a listed resume template through its ID.
  3. Get all listed resume template.
  4. Buy a listed resume template after usage.

Tech stack Frontend: It was built with Next.js using typescript, redux for state management, cloudinary to save images. Contract: Rust

Challenges we ran into

  1. Writing a contract in rust and using Next.js not React.js as using window is quite tacky in Next.js
  2. Payment in NEAR, had issues with access keys.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  1. Successfully able to write a contract in rust.
  2. Connecting the frontend to the contract.
  3. Payment in NEAR tokens.

What we learned

  1. Through the project, I learnt how to write a contract in Rust, as I had no prior understanding of rust earlier, I read the rust book, I read near documentation on rust, nft and NEAR 101 from decade.
  2. How to connect the contract to frontend using near-api-js.

What's next for NEAR-RESUME

  1. Create more resume templates.
  2. Enable chat between reviewer and their client.
  3. Make the application more robust via email notifications.
  4. Make the application much faster, as the pdf dependency is quite huge.
