Show HN: TypstMe – Build ATS-proof resumes using Typst and WASM

yoangilliand Saturday, February 21, 2026

Hi HN,

I built TypstMe because I was frustrated with the current state of resume builders. Most of them are either overpriced monthly subscriptions or tools like Canva that produce absolute-positioned PDFs which ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) often fail to parse correctly.

The Tech: I wanted the precision of Typst but with a GUI accessible to everyone. The core engine uses Typst compiled to WebAssembly (WASM), allowing for instant, pixel-perfect previews directly in the browser.

Key Features:

1. ATS-First Architecture: Unlike SVG or image-based exports, TypstMe generates clean text nodes that ensure 95%+ parsing accuracy in major ATS platforms.

2. AI Assistance: Integrated an LLM-powered assistant (via Cloudflare Workers) to help with "Executive Tone" and metrics optimization.

3. No Subscriptions: I hate the "pay monthly to search for a job" model. TypstMe is free to try, with a one-time lifetime payment for the Pro features.

Technical Stack:

- Next.js, Supabase, Prisma.

- Typst-ts (WASM).

- AI proxied through Cloudflare Workers for rate-limiting and cost control.

I’m looking for feedback on the editor's UX and the technical rendering performance. I'll be around to answer any questions!
