Add "ATS-friendly" to repository About and "ats" to topics
Hello,
I recently came across the RenderCV ATS Compatibility Report and wanted to first say that the empirical testing you've done is excellent. Documenting that all 20 PDFs across 5 themes passed parsing by three commercial engines (Affinda, Extracta, Klippa) provides strong, verifiable evidence of RenderCV's ATS compatibility.
Given that this is now a documented and tested feature, I'd like to propose a small improvement to the repository's metadata:
Add "ATS-friendly" to the repository About and ats to the topics.
Why this matters
- Discoverability: Many users searching for resume tools on GitHub use "ATS-friendly" as a primary filter. Having it in the About and topics would help RenderCV appear in those searches.
- Accuracy: The current About — "Resume builder for academics and engineers" — doesn't mention what is arguably one of RenderCV's strongest practical advantages. Adding "ATS-friendly" would make it more complete and reflect the project's real-world usability.
- Low effort, high impact: This is a metadata-only change that requires no code modifications and aligns with the extensive documentation already in place.
Current metadata
- About:
Resume builder for academics and engineers - Topics:
cv,cv-builder,cv-generator,cv-template,python,resume,resume-builder,resume-generator,resume-template,typst
Suggested changes
- About: One of the following (whichever you prefer):
ATS-friendly resume builder for academics and engineersResume builder for academics and engineers. Resumes are ATS-friendly.
- Topics: Add
ats(the current set already coverscv,resume, etc., so a single, concise tag should be enough to signal the feature).
I understand that repository metadata is ultimately up to the maintainer, and I'm happy to discuss alternative wording or scope. Thank you for the great work on RenderCV.
