Tiny CV

Tiny CV nails one specific workflow: writing a resume in Markdown and hosting a clean, one-page version online. For software engineers who version-control their career history and want a lightweight alternative to LaTeX or Google Docs, it's a natural fit. The live preview renders on a real paper layout, so what you see is what gets printed, and the public hosting means you can share a link instead of emailing a PDF attachment. The API, webhooks, and agent-friendly endpoints open up automation possibilities—you could generate tailored resumes from a CI pipeline or integrate with job application agents. But the one-page rule is both a feature and a hard limit: if you have decades of experience or need a two-page CV for academic roles, this tool won't work. There are no templates beyond the two style presets (technical, founder), so you can't rearrange sections or add visual elements. The free price is a selling point, but it also means no premium support or advanced analytics. Compared to Standard Resume, which offers more templates and multi-page support, Tiny CV is more opinionated and less flexible. That opinionatedness is exactly what some developers want. We'd reach for Tiny CV when building a focused role-specific resume from a markdown source, especially if we want to track changes with git. Watch out: if you're not comfortable writing Markdown, the learning curve might feel steep for a tool that does so little.
