WYSIWYG web app Startups

Fernando Pessagno built ResumeMaker.Online as a side project in 2018 to solve his sister's resume-building needs, creating a simple WYSIWYG tool focused on ease of use over features. After launching on Product Hunt and becoming #1 product of the day and week, the service grew to 700,000+ downloaded resumes through word-of-mouth and SEO, eventually monetizing through donations and later a freemium model that now generates $1,500/month.
