Inspiration

My teammate wanted to make something that would be cost effective and save trees from becoming resume fodder. We talked about it and the idea was born!

What it does

Enables a user (mainly a student) to choose from free to use resume web templates. They fill in specific data and then in the end receive the option of sharing that data in several ways: via a qr code, encoded url, or by utilizing web nfc.

How we built it

It is noted here: https://use.ezrez.tech/index.html#tech_used However you can also check out our commits on Github: https://github.com/hola-there/ezRez/commits/main

Lastly we utilized the following links in order to handle the json creation and encoding:

https://web.dev/nfc/

Basically everything is shown/analyzed on the client side. Since the project is only hosted via Github pages as a static site.

Challenges we ran into

  • Encoding json output then decoding it so that a template could be filled in
  • Modifying preexisting code so that data provided by a user can be filled in

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Finding good images
  • Utilizing Canva pro to make some nice imagery
  • Choosing a logo
  • Checking the USPTO Tess tool to check for trademark concerns

What we learned

Not to wait until halfway into a hackathon to start if no one had a good idea at first.

What's next for ezRez

  • Maybe a paid version or a coffee money donation button
  • More templates
  • Maybe a real backend
