Show HN: A LaTeX-based resume building app

If the first thing you require is a login, I'll instantly bounce. All I have to go on is an annoying animation and a claim that you create a professional looking CV.

My instant reaction was simply to close it and move on, but I thought I'd at least come here to tell you why.

I've upvoted the submission because I want to encourage others to provide their opinions, which might be different from mine.

Added in edit: And I use neither Google+ nor LinkedIn, so I couldn't sign in anyway.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I'll definitely work on your suggestions.

It's my first project, so I am still learning things

Massive kudos in getting something up, running, and available for people to use - I'm sure you'll learn a lot. One thing you'll learn is that the core product is about 10% of the whole experience.

As others have mentioned, if you take it down you should have a place-holder so that people know it will be back, and so it doesn't overly hurt your search engine rankings.

I don't have any feedback on the app since it is offline at the moment, but you have a great attitude in response to criticism!

I thought Google+ was dead anyway.

It is, you can still use Google SSO.
