Show HN: RenderCV – Open-source CV/resume generator, YAML to PDF

I built RenderCV because Word kept breaking my layout and LaTeX was overkill. I wanted my CV as a single YAML file (content, design, margins, everything) that I could render with one command.<p>Run <i>rendercv render cv.yaml</i> → get a perfectly typeset PDF.<p>Highlights:<p>1. <i>Version-controllable:</i> Your CV is just text. Diff it, tag it.<p>2. <i>LLM-friendly:</i> Paste into ChatGPT, tailor to a job description, paste back, render. Batch-produce variants with terminal AI agents.<p>3. <i>Perfect typography:</i> Typst under the hood handles pixel-perfect alignment and spacing.<p>4. <i>Full design control:</i> Margins, fonts, colors, and more; tweak everything in YAML.<p>5. <i>Comes with JSON Schema:</i> Autocompletion and inline docs in your editor.<p>Battle-tested for 2+ years, thousands of users, 120k+ total PyPI downloads, 100% test coverage, actively maintained.<p>GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/rendercv/rendercv" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rendercv/rendercv</a><p>Docs: <a href="https://docs.rendercv.com" rel="nofollow">https://docs.rendercv.com</a><p>Overview on RenderCV's software design (Pydantic + Jinja2 + Typst): <a href="https://docs.rendercv.com/developer_guide/understanding_rendercv/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.rendercv.com/developer_guide/understanding_rend...</a><p>I also wrote up the internals as an educational resource on maintaining Python projects (GitHub Actions, packaging, Docker, JSON Schema, deploying docs, etc.): <a href="https://docs.rendercv.com/developer_guide/" rel="nofollow">https://docs.rendercv.com/developer_guide/</a>

Show HN: WalletWallet – create Apple passes from anything

I got my Apple developer certificate and built a simple app to solve a problem I had. One shop I buy from doesn't have Apple Wallet passes. Since you need signed certificates to build these very simple things, I created a minimal app that signs them. It's available if you need it too. It won't scan cards with AI - you manually enter the barcode, which I think makes it less prone to error.

Carolina Cloud – One third the cost of AWS for data science workloads

We're Carolina Cloud - managed data science infrastructure at ~1/3 the cost of AWS.<p>I left my job earlier this year after watching companies get crushed by cloud bills for workloads that didn't need hyperscaler complexity. Some examples from my previous life: - $1k/month for a basic 16 vCPU VM - $50k/month for a high-RAM instance - Over $1k/month for notebook platform start-stop execution<p>We built Carolina Cloud for data scientists and small teams who need serious compute without the sticker shock. Our sweet spot: if you're running VMs, notebooks, or RStudio and not deeply tied to AWS/Azure/GCP service ecosystems, we can save you a lot of money.<p>What we offer: - Standard Ubuntu VMs - One-click Marimo notebooks - One-click RStudio Server and Shiny hosting - S3-compatible object storage (launching soon) - Prepay discounts for commitments as short as 2 weeks - SOC2-certified, HIPAA-compliant datacenter in Charlotte, NC<p>Simple pricing: $0.005/vCPU/hr, $0.005/GiB RAM/hr, and $0.0001/GiB of hot storage/hr on AMD EPYC Turin processors. A 32 vCPU, 128GB RAM instance runs ~$240/month vs $800+ on AWS.<p>We're not trying to replicate every AWS service - if you need Lambda + Secrets Manager + S3 with pre-signed URLs, stick with AWS. But if you're a hedge fund running backtests, a biotech team analyzing genomics data, or a researcher who just needs a beefy VM without surprise egress fees, we're 1/3 the price.<p>Check us out at console.carolinacloud.io - happy to answer questions about our infrastructure, pricing, or why we think there's room for regional clouds built on owned hardware.
