modern-cv 0.3.0 : typst resume template now with multi-lingual support and simpler design
A modern resume template written in Typst, inspired by Awesome-CV - DeveloperPaul123/modern-cv
Hi open source community!
This is a follow up to a previous post where I got a lot of really good feedback on this resume template. I've made some changes to the template that takes much of the feedback into account and I also added some new features that should make the template more useable for a wide variety of people.
If you have any further feedback please feel free to share!
To use this template on the typst web app, see here: https://typst.app/universe/package/modern-cv
Some screenshots of what the template looks like/can produce.

Thanks for posting in a FOSS community, that's not common for typst. Highly appreciate it.
I like the CV yet I think it's too difficult for non tech people but that's probably not the target audience.
How does types compare to latex?
Much more modern. Way easier yet not as powerful (probably due to its age/ maturity. not language capabilities)
- Markdown tables are still much easier to use
- Typsts chat room is closed source and not accessible by everyone
- There is no discourse forum
- The typst documentation is actually the documentation of their online editor
- many things are weird if coming from other languages but you just have to adapt
Just curious, but what do you mean by the following
Typsts chat room is closed source and not accessible by everyone
And
There is no discourse forum
Do you mean that's it's hard to get involved in the discussion regarding typst? If so, check out the discussions on the their github page: https://github.com/typst/typst/discussions
And also be sure to check out their discord; it's linked to from the main website.
I really like it. I think it's on the right path as a competitor/successor to latex. I would agree with some of barbara's comments on it's age and maturity. It's being worked on by a lot of people and is open source which is cool. https://github.com/typst/
Overall it's easy to get started but there's a decent bit to learn like with any language. Creating templates like this is much, much easier though than it is in latex IMO. Overall I'm a fan and I'm slowly phasing out everything I've written in latex and am replacing it with
typst.
