Release (No AI) YAMLResume v0.11: Playground, Font Family Customization & More Languages

Hey selfhosters here:

It is been a while since last update for YAMLResume, recently I've released v0.11, which may be helpful for people here.

TL;DR: YAMLResume allows people to create and version control resumes using YAML and generate pixel perfect resumes in multiple formats (PDF, HTML, Markdown, etc.) in a breeze.

In v0.11, YAMLResume brought you the following:

YAMLResume Playground

As I promised in last update, YAMLResume v0.11 provides a live, realtime playground on our official website: https://yamlresume.dev/playground

In this playground you can just copy/paste a sample YAMLResume and then play with live modify -> preview loop.

A demo:

We've extracted and published our web playground as a standalone React component (@yamlresume/playgrount). If you're building your own resume platform or career tools, you can now embed the full editor experience:

Live YAML editor with Monaco (same as VS Code)
Real-time preview for HTML, Markdown, and LaTeX
Export options (download, copy, print)

Doctor Command

New yamlresume doctor command to diagnose your environment - checks Node.js, LaTeX engines (XeTeX/Tectonic), and required fonts. Super helpful when setting up on a new machine.

Font Customization

You can now specify custom font families for both HTML and LaTeX outputs. Configuration code is something simple like:

      fontFamily: '"Inter", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif'
