Grande Theme! ☕️

A JSON Resume theme based on jsonresume-theme-macchiato with improved visual styles for better readability.

Changes from Original Macchiato Theme

New Features

• Certifications Section - Added support for the certificates field from JSON Resume schema, displayed as "Certifications"
• Notable Projects Section - Full-width layout for better visibility of project details

Visual Improvements

• Increased font sizes for better readability
  • Paragraphs and list items: 11px → 14px
  • Headings (h3-h6) proportionally increased
• Maintained proper typographic hierarchy
• Enhanced visual comfort for extended reading
• Full-width layout for Projects, Certifications, and Education sections to prevent content cutoff

Usage

Note: The official resume-cli is no longer actively maintained. We recommend using resumed instead, which is a modern, actively maintained alternative.

Using resumed (Recommended)

1. Create a new project directory and initialize it

mkdir my-resume
cd my-resume
npm init -y

2. Install resumed and the theme

npm install resumed jsonresume-theme-grande

3. Create your resume.json file in the project directory (see JSON Resume Schema)

4. Use resumed to build your resume

npx resumed render --theme grande

Alternative: Using the legacy resume-cli

If you prefer to use the legacy JSON Resume CLI:

npm install -g resume-cli
npm install -g jsonresume-theme-grande
resume export resume.html --theme grande

PDF output

Probably you want a PDF version of your resume...

JSONResume CLI should be able to make a PDF out of your JSON but I always struggled to get it to work, so I switched to a more direct and effective approach.

I use Puppeteer-CLI to make a PDF from my HTML resume.

npm install -g puppeteer-cli
puppeteer --wait-until networkidle0 --margin-top 0 --margin-right 0 --margin-bottom 0 --margin-left 0 --format A4 print resume.html resume.pdf

Obviously you could write a very simple Node script to use the real Puppeteer and the render function to make a PDF without first exporting the HTML version.
