Hey, thanks for commenting.
1. Body text has the contrast ratio of 7.52 under WCAG 2.0 standards (https://contrast-ratio.com/#%234a5568-on-white https://contrast-ratio.com/#%234a5568-on-white) which is within the optimal range for legibility. On paper, the text is 100% black. On the screen, that can be too much, so I used grays. Labels are lighter because I wanted to treat them as supporting text, not main.
2. This is primarily for the Web. So, HTML/CSS. I didn’t know about LaTeX before, interesting.
3. It’s free, and you can modify it, maintain it, etc. The only restriction is that you can’t use it for commercial purposes (e.g., page builder). More info here https://github.com/WebPraktikos/universal-resume#license https://github.com/WebPraktikos/universal-resume#license
- swiley 7y agoBe careful with LaTeX. It’s easy to get sucked into it.
- amelius 7y agoJust like programming in general.
- webpraktikos 7y agoStaring into the Abyss. Don’t get sucked into it. :D
- blaser-waffle 7y agoLaTeX is good stuff, very powerful but also, as parent said, it's a deep rabbit hole. That said, Overleaf is a good online template & LaTeX editor. Kind of an easy way into it, similar to WYSIWYG HTML editors.

- willis936 7y agoLaTeX is really great. My CV is a 7 kB file with embedded fonts. My thesis is 1.2 MB with embedded fonts, 60 vector images and hyperlinks (references and ToC). LaTex is a serious amount of labor but it makes the best documents.
