Hi, anyone know how resume creator websites work? i want to create my own using nextjs and add it to a portfolio. should the resume preview be structured as html or pdf when im editing it. And what would be the best way to create / use templates. optimally I want to be able to have dozens of templates that are editable. GPT recommends using HTML to create resume templates and then filling it in.
