Have an idea on how we can make this app better? Let us know!

  1. Thumbnail for profile picture for resume

  2. Cover Letter feature: plug information into a cover letter template.

I have 5 year experience at Acme Inc., and during that same period create Project 1 (as see here [url]).

I've had someone ask me to add a picture before. I'm more on the side of being simplistic. If we were to add an image, it seems like the header area would need to be repositioned/styled to make room for it.

A challenge we'll face will be image hosting. Do we have the user provide the link to the image or do we use a service like Cloudinary to make it as easy as possible for the user?

Any thoughts?

Sorry for the late follow-up @paulywill!

1.) I agree with you and think that a simplistic approach is more favorable. However, I can see how some would like to have a profile picture included. If we wanted to include this, we can get around hosting images by storing the image content as data uri (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs) We would require some validation checks to make sure the image being used is within a reasonable size and resolution to make sure the stored data does not overwhelm local storage.

Using Cloudinary would be great but we would eventually hit a paywall.

2.) The cover letter feature sounds good. My concern would be the overuse of a standardized template.

Good conversation but will close for now.
