Why it ranks #1

The dominant open-source resume builder by adoption at 39,786 GitHub stars, more than 11,000 ahead of the next repository in this track, with frequent self-hosting recommendations in open-source communities.

Here is the catch

Self-hosting the full application requires infrastructure and ongoing maintenance
Community reports note that browser/PDF rendering can vary across templates and deployments
It builds documents but does not provide job matching or application workflow automation

Does this well

Category-leading community adoption and a polished visual editor
Privacy-friendly design with no ads, tracking, or required account
Broad export, language, import, and self-hosting support
