Great work. Clean, clear workflows. -With the Reorder capability, it took me a bit to realize that the left-side menu had changed to Done Reordering. I was hunting for the Done…
Debryo on HNI like it, it seems very easy to use. Not sure what the best UI for this would be, in addition to setting up custom layouts I would love to have the ability to set up customized…

Feels like a useful resume tool worth paying attention to

Just wanted to say this is pretty fantastic. I have been touching up my personal site/resume lately and wanted something exactly like this. Will be on the watch for any premium…

Objections
Unclear whether the service is free or paid
From 1 comment
I really like what I see so far. One piece of feedback, and I understand you may not have decided on this yet, but it's not clear from the landing page whether this is meant to…

DOCX and PDF export are buggy or limited
From 2 comments
Built a resume, when I tried to export to docx it gave me an xml file with the following contents: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>…
vinceguidry on HNAre there any recruiters that accept these instead of the standard .doc format? I get it - it's about 10,000X better than Word format (esp. if you don't particularly like Word)…

Reordering sections is confusing
From 2 comments
Wow, this is truly impressive! I would like to leave some feedback of my first experience. Re-ordering: I could not get this to work as intuitively as it seemed it should have…

Only single-page resumes supported
From 1 comment
Apologies if this is obvious elsewhere, but where can I make my resume a multi-page document? I'm a two-pager myself, but increasing the font size just seems to knock text off…

Import from LinkedIn profile

This is really neat! It would be really cool if there was a way to create resume's off linkedin profiles. So if I were to sign up on your site through Linkedin, I would instantly…

Multiple customized resumes for different employers

blktiger on HNThanks! It's definitely something I want to add. A UI for managing content between multiple resumes can get complicated fast, so I'm still working through the UI sketches. But I…

HelloMcFly on HNNo totally understandable. The biggest limitation right now is only supporting one page resumes. I want to support multi page resumes, but still leave in automatic font sizing,…

A4 paper size support
From 2 comments
What do those with other paper formats (hint: A4) do?
ygra on HNI feel bad this never crossed my mind. The formatting adjusts to whatever bounds are set, in this case 8.5 x 11, so theoretically it shouldn't be hard to add the ability to…

Color wheel for color selection
From 2 comments
Minor feature request: Instead of selecting from pre-selected colors, a color wheel would be great!
kkl on HNYes, I think it's a no brainer. I'll put it up on the board!

Questions
Is it open source or does it have an API?
From 2 comments
Really cool! Is this open source? I'd love to integrate some of your functionality in an app I'm building. Or do you at least have an open API?
reubano on HNThanks! Creddle is not open source and does not have an open API at the moment. I do have ideas on some portions of Creddle that might be a good opportunity to open source in the…

How is it different from nemcv and LinkedIn print?
From 2 comments
Seems like it's obvious to everybody else, but perhaps someone will clarify—how this is better than hitting Ctrl+P on my LinkedIn profile page? (Except not having to have a…
goblin89 on HNHow is this different to something like http://nemcv.com which gives a PDF paper friendly CV as well?

How are PDFs generated?
From 2 comments
How do you generate PDFs? Is this HTML and CSS at heart? I'm trying to do the same with a resume of mine but haven't found a good tool for doing so.
mplewis on HNSo Creddle doesn't natively export PDFs, but rather relies on the browser to print the page as a PDF. At the very least, the site exports the resume to static HTML during this…
