UI & UX

At its core, PPResume is just json data + latex template = PDF resume, anyone that has an average understanding of LaTeX can get a beautifully typeset resumes by his/her own, so what makes PPResume stands out? I would say, it is the excellent UI/UX, one of the core selling points. So it is super important for PPResume to always provide top-notch UI/UX.
