Hey, really appreciate the feedback!
- I have prepared some guidelines like "how to write a resume" but it would be better to prepare examples and show them the hints inline..I guess.
- Ah yea few people actually asked what 10 applications mean. You can download your resumes as many times as you want but you can only have 10 at the same time.
- I thought about removing the subscription model completely and go with lifetime accounts, at least for the beginning. What do you think?

I don't own GitHub, nor gmail or have facebook. So I can't actually use your site.
Is there any way to create a user without those?

Woah...Unfortunately not. I decided to use social login as it is one of the safest way to implement user registration. Do you have any social account? Maybe LinkedIn?
Otherwise, I am sure, I could add you manually, if you are interested.
- Design is one thing to think about but I think you'd be giving your readers more value with some custom advice / structure - like how to talk about the value you've created at a position rather than simply listing responsibilities.
- As others mentioned, grammar is pretty important for CVs, so tidying up the copy you use in examples and the rest of your site would be good.
- The pricing is confusing. What is 'an application'. Don't I get the PDF and then I can use it to apply to as many places as I need? I know it's almost an unspoken rule to have 3 pricing options, but I would just go for one in this case and have a link to the subscription/hosting service with its own page and pricing rather than confusing people there.
