🚫 Deployment Note

This project is not deployed on a free platform because it requires LaTeX for PDF generation, which significantly increases the Docker image size. Most free-tier services (like Streamlit Cloud or Render) impose limits on memory and container size, making it impractical to host.

However, you can easily run it locally or in the cloud using Docker.

🐳 Run with Docker

1. Build the Docker Image

docker build -t resume-builder .

2. Run the Contanier

docker run -p 8080:8080 resume-builder

3. Open on Browser

Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser to use the app locally.
