Thank you so much for pointing me to this!
Just yesterday I got an idea of having my resume in a kind of a structured data format. Shame I already wasted a night developing something that already exists though.

Thank you for motivation. I needed this idea. I think to do something like this just with elements of portfolio/personal website which you can print/download as cv. So for me I think to use Js+NodeJs or Js+C/PHP

I've been using the StackOverflow theme when sharing my resume due to loading errors with the Elegant theme periodically. While migrating my blog I wondered why I didn't include it in the samples. I guess it wasn't out yet?

Very nice! I'd be willing to contribute

Very interesting idea, I was just looking for something like that. Congrats on your work, but I think I'll keep looking for something based on markdown.

Thanks Paulo, I will look into that alternative too.

I just have some doubts about md:

  • The format is very free and can lead to dfferent html output
  • how can we predict (and style) the possible sections of the resume? That would mix presentation and data, that is the main reason of having a json CV

Hi! I am not an expert, but I think you're right. Using MD you'll not have an "standard object" to rely on.

By the way, I think you can use some conventions, for example: the first link (#) could be always the header, and something like that

But it was just an idea man, congrats on your work again. It's awesome
