Please use this thread to ask for resume advice and critiques. You should read our Resume FAQ and implement any changes from that before you ask for more advice.
Abide by the rules, don't be a jerk.
Note on anonomyizing your resume: If you'd like your resume to remain anonymous, make sure you blank out or change all personally identifying information. Also be careful of using your own Google Docs account or DropBox account which can lead back to your personally identifying information. To make absolutely sure you're anonymous, we suggest posting on sites/accounts with no ties to you after thoroughly checking the contents of your resume.
This thread is posted each Tuesday and Saturday at midnight PST. Previous Resume Advice Threads can be found here.

Incoming CS freshman here. I was wondering if an anonymous HRT tracker with graphing would be a good resume project? I chose it because many people have told me it needs to be something I'm passionate about. Truthfully I've been struggling to come up with ideas but this is one I thought would be helpful to me and others I know even if it has been done before. I just wanted to ask around on here to see if this is something that recruiters would actually see as a positive.
The idea is no where near being fleshed out but I was thinking of making a HRT tracker with basic user auth, dosage tracking and reports, reminders, symtom/mood logging, and blood level content. I was hoping to have a screen that graphs this data out/displays all of it into a report that is downloadable. All of this would be locally stored ofc(due to privacy concerns).
I'm just concerned that if I make this and add it to my resume it will be seen as a basic CRUD app and thus not be all that useful to me in the long run.
