This project is a customizable resume builder where you can:

• 📝 Edit your resume content in a JSON file (via a Streamlit UI)
• 📄 Automatically generate a PDF resume using a LaTeX template
• 🔁 See a live preview and download your resume instantly
• 📜 Track every change with timestamped logs
• 🔍 Review a unified diff of edits across versions

🚫 Deployment Note

This project is not deployed on a free platform because it requires LaTeX for PDF generation, which significantly increases the Docker image size. Most free-tier services (like Streamlit Cloud or Render) impose limits on memory and container size, making it impractical to host.

However, you can easily run it locally or in the cloud using Docker.

---

🐳 Run with Docker

1. Build the Docker Image

docker build -t resume-builder .

2. Run the Container

docker run -p 8080:8080 resume-builder

3. Open in Browser

Open http://localhost:8080 to use the app.
