Hi open source community!

This is a follow up to a previous post where I got a lot of really good feedback on this resume template. I’ve made some changes to the template that takes much of the feedback into account and I also added some new features that should make the template more useable for a wide variety of people.

If you have any further feedback please feel free to share!

To use this template on the typst web app, see here: https://typst.app/universe/package/modern-cv

Some screenshots of what the template looks like/can produce.

    Much more modern. Way easier yet not as powerful (probably due to its age/ maturity. not language capabilities)

    • Markdown tables are still much easier to use
    • Typsts chat room is closed source and not accessible by everyone
    • There is no discourse forum
    • The typst documentation is actually the documentation of their online editor
    • many things are weird if coming from other languages but you just have to adapt

      Just curious, but what do you mean by the following

      Typsts chat room is closed source and not accessible by everyone

      And

      There is no discourse forum

      Do you mean that’s it’s hard to get involved in the discussion regarding typst? If so, check out the discussions on the their github page: https://github.com/typst/typst/discussions

      And also be sure to check out their discord; it’s linked to from the main website.

        Typst uses discord instead of matrix. Discord is proprietary and you can use discord only under discords terms which leaves out a couple of people. You can’t just browse the chat rooms. It’s not easy to use and simply behind modern open standards.

        I mean that there is no proper forum for typst. E.g. https://discourse.julialang.org/ discourse.nixos.org/ https://discuss.grapheneos.org/ https://community.openstreetmap.org/ discussion.fedoraproject.org/ modern or updated projects all use discourse. There is no proper room where users can ask simple questions. Something like stack overflow but not stack overflow. A forum specifically for interested people. Github discussions should not be used for a user forum. Github discussions should be for discussions around the language, if you want to use github for that.
