resumancer
A living archive of your craft. Document your growth, one commit at a time.
Here's something nobody tells you about being a developer:
You forget what you build.
You spend weeks solving a gnarly problem. You ship a feature that makes users happy. You debug something obscure at 2am and finally understand how the system works.
Then six months pass.
When someone asks what you've been working on, or you sit down to update your resume, or you try to remember why you deserve that promotion... your mind goes blank.
All that work. All that growth. Just... gone.
resumancer is a developer journal for tracking what you build, what you learn, and what matters to you. Log from the CLI, browse in the TUI dashboard, or access your journal from the web app — one living record, every interface.
It's not for social media. It's not for performance. It's a changelog of your craft — quiet, consistent, yours.
Over time, these logs become:
- · A record of what you've actually accomplished
- · Proof that you're growing, even when it doesn't feel like it
- · Material for your next resume, review, or brag document
Four commands
That's it. No followers, no likes, no feed to scroll. Just you, your terminal, and your progress.
What makes it different
Where your data lives
We know you're used to open source tools where you can read every line of code. We're not there yet — but we want to be honest about exactly what this tool does on your machine.
When you install the CLI, it creates two things:
- 1. A SQLite database at
~/.resumancer/data/resumancer.db— this is where all your entries live. It's a regular file on your disk. You can open it with any SQLite viewer. - 2. A config file at
~/.resumancer/config.toml— your preferences. Editor, display settings, date format. Plain text, fully readable.
That's the entire footprint. No background processes. No telemetry. No network calls. The CLI never phones home. It doesn't even know the internet exists.
If you ever want to leave, resumancer export --json or --markdown gives you everything in a portable format.
Or just copy the SQLite file. Your data is yours.
$ resumancer build "shipped the auth flow"CLI for quick entries, TUI for browsing, web app for access anywhere
~/.resumancer/data/resumancer.db Your machine. Zero network calls. Works offline.
That's it. Free. Done.
Connect CLI and web app. Log from the terminal, review from the browser.
$ resumancer export --json Your data. Always exportable. Never locked in.
The CLI, TUI, and web app are all free. The web app is currently in closed beta. Bidirectional sync between CLI and web is coming soon as a paid feature.
Share entries publicly to build in public. Or keep everything private. Your call.
No more zero days.
No more forgotten wins.
No more invisible progress.
