Comment on Show HN: Create pretty resumes in HTML, Latex, Markdown from a single JSON

Comments

I made a similar thing a while back. My resume in PDF:

In MD:

In JSON:

You can generate a decent chunk of the content from LinkedIn/GitHub too :)

Very slick. The creation process is very nice, but editing an existing account is less straightforward.

Indeed, it's evolved over time as I've needed more from it but the UX has wound up pretty awful. Adding a personal statement for example involves finding and pressing the oh-so-very-intuitive "add block" button at the bottom of the edit page.

For reference you can drag and drop any of the sections to reorder them, and most of the fields will happily accept Markdown.

Any feedback appreciated for next time I have a weekend spare :)

Pretty cool. Just a suggestion, why not display a few more rows for the stack options instead of a single row. It would be pretty neat if I can just click through the stacks that I knew instead of figuring what I probably left out.

Doesn't work for me.. Can't retrieve data from Linkedin: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'values' of undefined at hackerb.io/users/new:194

Thanks for the heads up - I'll get that fixed.
