Inspiration
Ever felt jealous seeing your friend's colourful resume, filled to the brim with self-driven projects and work experiences? Tired of your friends using their resume to land internship opportunities while you struggle to write more than half a page of your resume?
REKTsume is the solution for you. See, you do not need to spend time improving your own resume through embarking on exhausting projects and online courses that are waaaayyy too long when you can just sabotage your friends' resumes instead! Why work hard when you can cheat to gain an unfair advantage over your friends?
What it does
REKTsume is a website where your friend can fill up their long list of technical skills, work experiences and education achievements to generate a resume. However, REKTsume will make sure their resume is as unflattering as possible.
How we built it
HTML and bootstrap for website, backend was built using Express.js as a wrapper to execute a python script to generate and download a PDF file.
Challenges we ran into
We had some last minute complications with Heroku and hence we were unable to host the app on a server. There was also some trouble using the python library to generate PDFs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Building a full stack app in 24 hours with unfamiliar frameworks.
What we learned
How convoluted the backend can be compared to frontend :P
What's next for REKTsume
Hosting backend on cloud. Frontend can be converted to React so it can be coupled with the backend more seamlessly.
