I built a free ATS Resume Builder with Alpine.js & Bootstrap (No Login Required)

Hey everyone! πŸ‘‹

As developers, we all know the struggle of applying for tech jobs and wondering if our resumes ever make it past the dreaded Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Most online resume builders force you to create an account, hide PDF downloads behind paywalls, or render fancy multi-column layouts that ATS software completely fails to parse.

So, I decided to build a simple, privacy-first alternative: ATS Ready Resume Builder.

πŸ› οΈ The Tech Stack

  • Alpine.js: For lightweight reactive state management and live preview rendering without the overhead of heavy frameworks.
  • Bootstrap: Clean, accessible, and responsive.
  • Local-First Architecture: Your data stays 100% in your browser using local storage. zERO accounts needed.

✨ Key Features
πŸ“„ 3 ATS-Optimized Templates: Designed specifically for software engineers, entry-level candidates, and senior roles.

πŸ‘οΈ Live Split-Screen Preview: See layout and structural changes in real time.

πŸ’Ύ JSON Import/Export: Backup your resume data locally or switch devices instantly.

πŸ“₯ Free PDF & Print Download: Clean, formatted text-based PDFs that recruiters and ATS scanners can actually read.

πŸ”— Try it out!
Check out the live app here: atsresumebuilder.net
