Project goal

Make it possible to edit LaTeX, preview the resulting PDF, and diagnose compilation errors in one workspace.

Implementation and methods

  • The Monaco editor sends LaTeX to an Express API. A TeX Live service compiles it and returns the PDF or compiler logs.
  • MongoDB persists projects, and Docker manages the services needed to run the workspace locally.
  • The résumé and job-description comparison uses heuristic analysis.
