I've been thinking about doing a rewrite of the app (again). Not sure if I'll have the time to actually end up doing this, but here's my thoughts:

Instead of having hard-set sections (Education, Experience, etc), the UI will allow you to create your own sections
After adding a section, you can add a "View", which will be something like a Table, a Paragraph, a List, etc.
Builtin LaTeX editor (this would be a maybe)

I think this will add a lot more flexibility and will help out with a lot of emails/messages I get about adding extra sections without LaTeX knowledge.

Plans for v3:

Custom sections
Auto rebuilding
Reordering of subsections
Collapse/Expand subsections
Dark/light mode
Better JSONResume compatibility/support
Animations
Accessibility improvements
I18N Support
Allowing special characters
Customzing Fonts/Colors?
Button for previewing your resume in all templates?

Tech stuff:

This is going to be a complete rewrite of the app. Can use this as an opportunity to really simplify the form stuff on the client which is pretty atrocious right now, and clean up the LaTeX generating stuff on the server.

Will be rewritten using TypeScript (I have given up on Flow)
Maybe look into using graphql
lynt for linting
prettier for formatting
maybe jest for tests
maybe learn how to implement integration tests
maybe maybe set up a deployment process (doing some horrible manual stuff right now whenever I need to make a change to live site)

You can track progress in the v3 branch. Don't expect much for awhile.
