IhateLaTeX is a free, privacy-first, in-browser LaTeX resume and CV builder created by Resume Smashers. Powered by an embedded WebAssembly TeXLive engine, it compiles pixel-perfect, ATS-friendly vector PDFs directly inside your browser in under a second.
Whenever my juniors used to ask me how to build an ATS-friendly resume, I used to advise them to create a LaTeX resume. I'd share a .tex file with my template.
They opened it, copied and pasted it into Overleaf, compiled it, and whoa - it generated my resume.
Then they went through the complex LaTeX code, figuring out what to change and where, ran into hundreds of errors, and even AI-generated code gave them bugs.
Resume contains personal information, which students hesitate to share with everyone.
To solve exactly this problem, I created a small tool: "IhateLaTex"
ihatelatex.com
It's the first free, offline LaTeX resume builder, without going through complex code. It works offline, right in your browser, without saving your sensitive information in any server.
Congrats on the launch! IhateLaTeX's focus on free, private in-browser, no-code LaTeX resume & CV builder really stood out to me. It is a clear, practical value proposition, and the focused execution makes it easy to understand who this is for. Wishing the team a great launch!
