From our experience, that's still relatively uncommon, but a growing trend.

Standard Resume gives you a web resume, in addition to the PDF. The web resumes are a good replacement for a LinkedIn profile if you don't have one, and are a better branded and easier to read version of your profile, if you do have one.

Here is an example: https://standardresume.co/r/dana-andrews

The formatting is fine, but I learned surprisingly little about the candidate's work, skills, specialisations, character or aptitude, considering what they must have done over the course of 20 years.

So the example resume doesn't seem to me like something to aspire to.

(That said I've been struggling to write mine for a while, so I don't want to imply it's easy.)

That's a fair analysis. We are working on better sample resume content, to match the quality of the template designs. That copy was from our very first sample resume, when we created the app as a side project, five years ago.

What resources have you been using to help you write your resume?
