A while back I shared a small pet project I’d built for myself to tweak my resume quickly: Less Resume (link below). It was a bit rough around the edges, but it did the job. I was honestly surprised when a few people started using it and messaged me asking for fixes.

The idea was simple. There are plenty of apps for making a basic resume, but almost all of them want something first: a subscription, an account, or a one-off payment just to export. I wanted something I could open, fix and download in a couple of minutes, without trying to remember which tool I’d used last time.

I’ve just shipped an update:
- A much nicer UI, with proper animations.
- A completely new PDF export. Instead of html2canvas + jsPDF, it now renders on the server with headless Chromium, using the same layout you see in the editor. The PDF matches the preview exactly, the file is small, and the text is real, selectable text, so ATS systems can read it.

It’s still deliberately simple and minimal. It does the job for me, so hopefully it’s useful to someone else too.

I’m busy with a few bigger projects, but resume history and versions, AI proofreading and writing help, and optional accounts are on the roadmap.

What won’t change: you’ll always be able to use it without an account to make or edit a resume quickly, and that will always be free.

wait, the whole “Aftersun” movie is on YouTube for free, nice.

A24!

This is actually interesting.

Asahi Linux is a project that’s been around for a while – it brings Linux to Apple Silicon Macs, and its code powers distros like Fedora Asahi Remix.

Omarchy for Apple Silicon was always open about being based on Asahi. But Asahi says Omarchy has been taking code from their personal forks and unreleased branches, stripping attribution, or rewriting it with LLMs to hide where it came from.

MIT license allows that, so Asahi is switching to GPL.

Now if someone ships a modified version of Asahi’s code, they have to keep Asahi’s copyright notices, mark what they changed, and publish their changes under GPL too – they can’t keep them closed.

i was waiting for someone in my car and doing some work on my laptop in the meantime.

the guy parked in front of me came back, got in his car, and immediately fucking backed right into mine. he didn’t realize i was sitting inside and tried to just drive off, so he was really surprised when i got out.

nothing serious, just a few small scratches, but what the actual fuck. i hate people sometimes.
