Tkinter Resume Generator

A tkinter project that was designed to store data of users and build resumes from the data inputted.

How this project is different from the others?

• The project has a beautiful GUI that has a sign-up page, a login page, and 2 pages of resume data inputting page.
• It utilizes JSONs to store data of users.
• Fernet keys are used to encrypt the user.json file which is used to store user data.

How to get started?

1. Fork the project and clone it on your system or download the zipped code from here.
2. Next find the example-database folder and rename it to database.
3. Run the famous pip install -r requirements.txt or pip3 install -r requirements.txt
4. Open the fernet folder and head to genkey.py and generate your Fernet key (by executing the code) and keep it a secret! Then open encryption.py and execute it. PS: You only have to generate the key only once!! Do not generate it again!!
5. Create a folder in the database folder called images
6. You need a registered user to get started so execute reg.py and tadaa!!! (On a side note: Once you execute reg.py just execute main.py from next time)

YOU ARE GOOD TO GO!!!!

Issues one may face

• There is a very small chance you may get a cryptography error (cryptography.fernet.InvalidToken) then all you need to do is check if the user.json file in the database folder is encrypted. If not run encryption.py in the fernet folder.
• Alignment of the GUI may not be proper because of the use of fullscreen mode in tkinter window attributes. Since screen of each desktop is different the alignment varies. If you want to remove it, use the search function in your IDE and search for the.attributes('-fullscreen', True) and replace it with .geometry('<YOUR DIMENSION>') (obviously replace <YOUR DIMENSION with the dimension you want).
• The alignment of the resume generated changes. Yes I know about this and I am looking at better solutions for generating a resume in a dynamic way.
• The GUI may lag when scrolling up and down but that cannot be fixed.
• The GUI may lag after the CREATE RESUME button is clicked after the second page of the resume input. I am trying to determine a fix for it and making it faster.
